E-cigarette maker Juul has agreed to pay $462 million to settle claims by six states that it unlawfully marketed its addictive products to minors. With the deal, Juul has now settled with 45 states for more than $1 billion.
NEW YORK -E-cigarette maker Juul Labs Inc agreed on Wednesday to pay $462 million over eight years to settle claims by six U.S. states including New York and California, along with the District of Columbia, that it unlawfully marketed its addictive products to minors.
"Juul's lies led to a nationwide public health crisis and put addictive products in the hands of minors who thought they were doing something harmless," New York Attorney General Letitia James said at a news conference. "With this settlement, we are nearing total resolution of the company's historical legal challenges and securing certainty for our future," the company said.
In addition to the state settlements, the company last year agreed to pay $1.7 billion to settle thousands of lawsuits by local government entities and individual consumers.Under pressure from regulators, Juul in 2019 pulled most of its flavors from the market and halted much of its advertising. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration last June briefly banned the products, though the agency put the ban on hold and agreed to reconsider the action after the company appealed.
