Vape Companies Asks Supreme Court to Throw Out FDA’s Deeming Regulations
Eight vaping companies have asked the U.S. Supreme Court to consider whether the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) acted improperly when enacting its deeming regulations that introduced federal regulations for vaping products, cigars and other tobacco products.
Attorneys for the plaintiffs in
Moose Jooce, et al. v. Food & Drug Administration, et al. filed a petition for writ of certiorari, a request to have the U.S. Supreme Court consider the case. The plaintiffs claim that FDA acted improperly because the person that issued the deeming regulations was not qualified to do so per the Appointments Clause. In this case, the rule was issued by Leslie Kux, the associate commissioner for policy, and not the commissioner himself.
