Juul to pay $52m in North Carolina teen vaping suit settlement
Electronic cigarette giant Juul Labs Inc. will pay US$40 million (A$52 million) to North Carolina and take more action to prevent underage use and sales, according to a landmark legal settlement after years of accusations that the company had fuelled an explosion in teen vaping.
A state judge accepted the first-of-its-kind agreement with a state. North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein had sued Juul, accusing it of employing unfair and deceptive practices that targeted young people to use its vaping products, which deliver addictive nicotine. The lawsuit had been scheduled for trial next month.
