Juul will pay $1.2 billion to settle multiple youth-vaping lawsuits
in 2019, accusing the company of targeting minors in the state, failing to verify the age of its customers and failing to warn users of their exposure to chemicals linked to cancer and birth defects.
The San Francisco Unified School District, which also filed a lawsuit against Juul over its marketing practices, reportedly said it was"very pleased" with the settlement. Who can actually participate in the settlement and how much each plaintiff will get are still under discussion. The plaintiffs' lawyers said people eligible to sign onto the deal will receive a minimum gross amount of $1,000 before attorney fees and other deductions.
Juul has been under scrutiny since 2018 after the US Food And Drug Administration ordered e-cigarette brands toflavored pods if they can't prove that they can keep them out of minors' hands. It's been facing one lawsuit after another since then. In addition to this particular deal, the company also agreed to pay $439 million to settle a two-year investigation by multiple states and Puerto Rico that accuse Juul of marketing products to teens.
