FDA’s delayed decision on Juul e-cigarettes ‘reckless,’ pediatrics group says
Fox News
A delayed decision Thursday from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on whether to allow vaping brand Juul to stay on the market was met with strong criticism from the American Academy of Pediatrics.
The FDA said it rejected applications for nearly 950,000 e-cigarettes and related products, mainly due to their potential appeal to underage teens. Some of the products are currently being sold while many others were only proposed by manufacturers. But the agency didn’t rule on Juul, the most popular brand with adult smokers and many teens. The pediatrics group said "children and teens will suffer the consequence of FDA’s inaction."
