Health problems associated with JUUL e-cigarettes

Millions of people have regularly used JUUL e-cigarettes since they started being sold and marketed several years ago. JUUL Labs Inc. was founded in 2015 and quickly became the best-selling e-cigarette brand in the United States. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, JUUL controls 70 percent of the e-cigarette market in the country.

Initially, the products were marketed as a safe alternative to traditional cigarettes. Over a few short years, an increasing number of people – particularly teenagers and other young adults – reported suffering from serious health problems, including:

Nicotine addiction
Bronchiolitis obliterans (popcorn lung)
Respiratory failure
Collapsed lung

As of early October 2019, the death toll associated with people using e-cigarette vaping devices had risen to 18 confirmed deaths and more than 1,000 injuries, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Most of the deaths appear to be due to “toxic chemical fumes,” according to researchers at the Mayo Clinic.

Government taking legal action against JUUL

Health problems associated with JUUL e-cigarette vaping products have prompted many state and federal government agencies to take action. In December 2018, the U.S. Surgeon General issued an advisory about the health risks associated with JUUL e-cigarettes. Then, in July 2019, a U.S. congressional subcommittee conducted a two-day hearing which concluded that JUUL e-cigarettes were directly marketed to children as young as 8 years old.

More recently, several states (Massachusetts, Michigan and New York) have outright banned all e-cigarettes from being sold until health officials can figure out why so many people are dying and becoming seriously ill due to using e-cigarettes. In response, JUUL’s CEO resigned in September 2019 and was replaced by the chief growth officer for Altria, a major investor in JUUL. Altria Group, Inc. is the name of the multinational tobacco manufacturing company formerly known as Phillip Morris, USA, whose brands include Marlboro, Benson & Hedges and Virginia Slims. The U.S. federal government is also reportedly considering a national ban on flavored e-cigarettes due to the recent rise in e-cigarette fatalities and injuries.

Can I take legal action against JUUL for my injuries?

Numerous people nationwide have taken legal action against JUUL for injuries and illnesses associated with using their e-cigarette products. In most cases, many people filing a lawsuit against JUUL Labs and the Altria Group, Inc. are doing so because they claim that these companies knew that JUUL e-cigarettes were harmful but continued to sell them anyway.

In addition, many families dealing with health problems caused by JUUL e-cigarettes involving teens are taking legal action against JUUL Labs and the Altria Group, Inc. for reportedly marketing its highly addictive products to underage children.
