Should You File A Juul Lawsuit?

If you’re an adult or a parent of a youth who used Juul e-cigarettes, keep reading to see how you can file a lawsuit that can lead to financial compensation.

Why is Juul being sued?

There are over 2,000 lawsuits against Juul Labs, which has sold about ¾ of all e-cigarettes in the U.S. The primary basis of the lawsuits is that:

  1. Juul made false claims saying that their e-cigarettes are not as addictive as standard cigarettes.
  2. Juul intentionally targeted youths via their advertising campaigns and products that featured bright colors and sweet flavors.
  3. Juul’s e-cigarettes and other vaping products can lead to nicotine addiction, poor neurological development, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
  4. Juul’s products are dangerous and defective.

Why should you sue Juul?

The main benefit of filing a lawsuit against Juul is to receive a refund on any Juul products you purchased, assistance with fighting a nicotine addiction, or financial compensation for any damages suffered.

While the list of suits being brought against Juul seems to grow by the day, here are some examples of lawsuits already filed:

  2. The parents of a 15-year-old Florida girl sued Juul after their daughter suffered seizures they believed were linked to vaping.
  3. Two college students from Alabama sued Juul, claiming that vaping its e-cigarettes led to severe lung disorders.
  4. A former senior VP of Juul sued the company after they fired him for revealing that Juul sold over one million contaminated vape pods.
  5. An 18-year-old’s mother filed a wrongful death suit against Juul after her son died from breathing and lung complications linked to his vaping and nicotine addiction.
