The embattled electronic cigarette maker is paying its largest settlement to date over the teen vaping surge.
Minnesota's case against Juul went to trial last month with the state's Attorney General Keith Ellison asserting that the company"baited, deceived and addicted a whole new generation of kids after Minnesotans slashed youth smoking rates down to the lowest level in a generation."
New York sued Juul in 2019, accusing the e-cigarette maker of lying about the nicotine content of its products, falsely depicting them as safer than cigarettes and spurring a surge of youth nicotine addiction. District of Columbia Attorney General Brian Schwalb said in a statement that Juul"knew how addictive and dangerous its products were and actively tried to cover up that medical truth."
Three months later, the company said it had secured an equity investment to settle thousands of lawsuits over its e-cigarettes brought by individuals and families of Juul users, school districts, city governments and Native American tribes.
