JUUL vaporizers and pods were originally marketed as a safer alternative to cigarettes and help smokers gradually quit. The liquid containing nicotine and flavors is heated through heating coils powered by a battery, then turns into an inhalable vapor.
Unfortunately, JUUL products have become popular among teenagers with no previous smoking experience who believe they are safe, resulting in addiction and even severe respiratory injury, which is why many victims are suing the manufacturer of JUUL e-cigarettes for deceptively marketing highly concentrated nicotine pods to minors and young adults.
At Clark, Fountain, Littky-Rubin & Whitman, we can file a JUUL lawsuit on behalf of individuals who became addicted to nicotine and/or suffered bodily injuries due to false and deceptive sales. We understand that the manufacturer of JUUL products failed to warn users about the dangers of vaping, which is why the company should be held liable for medical bills, nicotine addiction treatment, pain and suffering, and other damages from JUUL vaping addiction.

Victims of dangerous and defective products have a right to take legal action against the liable party, and the e-cigarette problem is no exception. However, determining your rights and planning your next step after a serious injury or illness can be challenging.
Understanding the Problem: E-Cig Injuries
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have been tracking the outbreak of e-cigarette-related injuries since the incident began. Although the numbers are constantly growing, there were 1,888 reported injuries and 37 deaths related to e-cigarette use as of October 29, 2019. Neither the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) nor the CDC has identified the definitive cause of these illnesses.
E-cigarette use can cause several negative side effects, some of the most concerning being:
- Seizures
- Lung injuries and disease
- High blood pressure
- Stunted brain development in adolescents
- Behavioral changes
Some speculate that there may have been a contamination issue that affected some of the e-cigarette pods or cartridges, while others maintain that a singular ingredient is to blame, but neither explanation has been confirmed.

FAQs
Who Could Be Liable?
Although the exact reason for these lung injuries hasn’t yet been confirmed, e-cigarette manufacturers may still be liable for the damage caused by their dangerous products. JUUL Labs Inc., for instance, is the largest distributor of e-cigarette products in the United States and sells about 75% of all e-cigs on the market. Although other companies might also shoulder some blame, JUUL has already faced several lawsuits for misleading advertisements, marketing to children and teens, and for distributing dangerous products. One of the most recent lawsuits alleges that the company knowingly distributing $1 million contaminated nicotine e-cig pods to consumers.
