According to a recent news article, the U.S. District Judge Edward Chen is now backtracking on his agreement for sugary beverage warning labels.
Recently, Chen denied American Beverage Association (ABA) any more time in holding off in implementing the new warning label law, to take place on all ads by July 25, 2016.
Now, Chen is placing the appeal on hold, considering not the ABA’s free speech argument, but more so the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
According to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), Chen granted an injunction pending appeal allowing the Ninth Circuit to weigh in on the issue as this was the first warning label on food products.
Chen told the WSJ, that the time proposed on final say of the law’s implementation date may be months away.
