The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday declined to hear a case challenging the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) regulatory authority.

In an unsigned order on Tuesday, the justices denied an appeal from Avail Vapor, a maker of flavored e-cigarette products, after it lost its challenge against the FDA in a lower appeals court last December.
