The Food and Drug Administration said it needed to take more time before deciding whether e-cigarettes made by Juul Labs Inc. and other top manufacturers can remain on the U.S. market.
The FDA faced a Thursday deadline to respond to applications from Juul and other e-cigarette makers who had to submit their products for review to keep them on the U.S. market. The Wall Street Journal earlier reported that the FDA would take more time to reach a decision on Juul, the market leader.
