JUUL E-Cigarette Product Lawsuit
The mass tort lawyers at Mama Justice help victims in Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee protect their legal rights after being harmed as a result of using JUUL e-cigarette products.
In 2015, JUUL e-cigarette products quickly rose to the forefront of the United States market as a safe and effective alternative to traditional cigarettes. However, it was quickly found that these products were no safer than cigarettes. In fact, they were found to have been wrongfully marketed to vulnerable teens across the nation. As a result, several teens developed adverse health consequences and debilitating addictions.
If you have been negatively impacted by the use of a JUUL product, you may have legal options available to get justice. Our mass tort lawyers at Mama Justice have several decades of experience helping victims in Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee with the filing of mass tort claims after being harmed by dangerous and defective products. Our lawyers are available to meet with you at your earliest convenience to discuss your illness and injuries and pursue legal actions against those at fault.
The Actions of JUUL Labs
JUUL products quickly dominated the market with an estimated value of $38 billion. Mounting evidence quickly demonstrated that the company engaged in immoral marketing tactics that targeted the youth of the nation. In fact, allegations show that JUUL Labs took a proactive approach toward marketing the product by going to schools across the country and telling students that the products were safe and not addictive. Several allegations support these claims and further expand and show that the company directly engaged in various activities that pointedly advertised the products to teens and children.
If you have suffered health consequences due to the use of JUUL products, you may have legal options available to help you get justice.
Claims Made In JUUL Lawsuits
More than 2,300 JUUL lawsuits have been filed across the United States focused on victims who suffered negative consequences due to the negligent actions of JUUL Labs. These lawsuits allege that the company engaged in conduct that caused direct harm to children and teens across the country. Some of the allegations made in these lawsuits include:
The company promoted the use of nicotine
- The company’s marketing techniques failed to warn users that its product contained nicotine that was far more potent and addictive than other tobacco products
- JUUL Labs marketed the products in a way that was designed to attract minors
- The company’s products are defective and present unreasonable dangers to users
Victims who have been affected by JUUL products have the ability to pursue legal actions to hold the company accountable.
How a JUUL Lawsuit Can Help You
JUUL Labs, the manufacturer of vapor pods and JUUL e-cigarettes, is currently facing several lawsuits across the United States. These lawsuits focus on the link between the products they offer on the market and the development of additions among users.
Current lawsuits allege that the manufacturer failed to adequately warn users of the potential dangers surrounding the use of their products. The company failed to identify that their product was addictive and that their e-cigarettes contain significantly higher levels of nicotine than cigarettes. Although nicotine has been proven to be harmful to users of any age, those under the age of 18 are at a much higher risk of suffering adverse health consequences.
Teens and children who use JUUL products and develop an addiction to nicotine often experience severe and potentially fatal health consequences. Some of the most commonly reported side effects of using these products include:
- Dry mouth
- Dizziness
- Coughing
- Dry throat
- Sore through
- Dry eyes
- Nausea
- Headaches
Other severe side effects include:
- Chronic bronchitis
- Insulin resistance leading to type 2 diabetes
- Increase blood pressure
- Increased heart rate
- Lung disease
Unfortunately, JUUL Labs took it upon themselves to dangerously market their products to a vulnerable population as a safe and cool thing that they should do. This company needs to be held to account for its actions. For this reason, Mama Justice is helping victims get justice after being harmed by these products. In order to file a JUUL lawsuit, you must meet very specific criteria. This includes:
- You must have suffered adverse health consequences of the product and developed an addiction to nicotine
- The development of an addiction to nicotine must have occurred before your 18th birthday
If you meet the specified criteria, you may have legal options available to you moving forward. Our mass tort attorneys can help you pursue legal action against the negligent manufacturer in order to help to obtain the financial compensation you need to cover the damages you face moving forward.
