# Kaival Brands' distributor Bidi Vapor wins Eleventh Circuit appeal; FDA order set aside and remanded

## Summary
- 11th Circuit ruled 2-1 in August 2022 that FDA's marketing denial order for Bidi Vapor's flavored ENDS was arbitrary and capricious.
- Court cited FDA's failure to consider Bidi Vapor's marketing plans and youth-access restrictions in its PMTA review.
- Remand means FDA must now re-evaluate the non-tobacco flavored BIDI Stick applications; FDA could appeal or begin scientific review.
- Kaival Brands, exclusive U.S. distributor, expects potential revenue growth as downstream partners may expand distribution.
- Bidi Vapor is under common control with Kaival Brands (Niraj Patel owns both); ruling allows continued marketing of all flavor varieties.
