Electronic-cigarette maker Juul has filed a lawsuit against the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) after the agency earlier this year ordered the company to remove its products from stores in the United States.

The lawsuit (pdf) was filed on Sept. 20 in a court in Washington, D.C., over the agency’s refusal to hand over supporting documents to Juul pertaining to the FDA’s reasoning behind the ban.
