New York Attorney General Letitia James announced a $462 million multistate settlement with Juul on Wednesday for causing a"nationwide youth vaping epidemic," making it the largest multistate settlement with the company.
"Juul misled consumers about the health risks of their products. Juul targeted youth by glamorizing vaping with colorful ads featuring young models at flashy parties in New York City and the Hamptons, all while downplaying the harmful effects of vaping," New York's attorney general said. "Juul's lies led to a nationwide public health crisis and put additive products in the hands of minors who thought they were doing something harmless. There is no doubt that Juul played a central role in the youth vaping epidemic. Today, Juul is paying for the widespread harm it caused and will undergo severe restrictions on its marketing and sales practices," James said.
