TRIAL COURT’S CERTIFICATION ORDER VACATED; CAUSE REMANDED.
DON BURGESS, Justice,
dissenting.
I respectfully dissent. The majority holds this action is preempted by the FDA regulations; I disagree. The majority states: “In practical effect, the state lawsuit would make unlawful the sale of a product formulated to comply with a federal requirement.” The state lawsuit does not seek to prohibit the sale of the product, quite the contrary, it only seeks to afford the plaintiffs a remedy not afforded under the FDA scheme-restitution of the amounts paid for the products. I would *495overrule appellants’ first issue and consider the interlocutory appeal on its merits.
