Court overturns FDA ban on electric shock device used on special needs students
An FDA ban on using electric shock devices to control behavior in special needs students, a method deemed “torture” in a U.N. report, was overturned in a flawed court decision. The FDA should appeal.

In 2020, the FDA banned “electric stimulation devices” (ESDs), that is, devices delivering an electric shock to the skin and used to control self-harming and aggressive behavior in humans. The Judge Rotenberg Educational Center (JRC), a Massachusetts school for children and adults with emotional and psychiatric problems, intellectual disabilities, and autism spectrum disorder, many of whom are non-verbal, is the only place in the world currently using such a device and is thus the only entity affected by the ban.
