The Food and Drug Administration is expected to seek more time before deciding whether e-cigarettes from market leader Juul Labs Inc. can remain on the U.S. market, according to people familiar with the matter.
The FDA faces 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 agency has told some small companies that their e-cigarettes and vaping liquids can’t be sold.
