Challenging The FDA On 'Natural' Cigarettes
Partner Bryan Haynes and Associate Robert Claiborne were published in Law360 for their byline, “Challenging the FDA on ‘Natural’ Cigarettes.” They explore the case Sproule v. U.S. Food & Drug Administration, et al., which challenges a settlement agreement between the FDA and cigarette company Natural American Spirit. The settlement agreement allows the use of the word “Natural” in Natural American Spirit’s packaging and labeling. Haynes and Claiborne share the case’s implications for the doctrine of standing under Article III of the U.S. Constitution.
