Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro filed suit on Monday against e-cigarette manufacturer JUUL Labs for risking the health of Pennsylvanians’ and deceiving consumers.
The lawsuit states that Pennsylvania’s youth face a significant public health crisis with the epidemic in nicotine addiction caused by electronic cigarettes, driven in large part by a single product that “was developed and marketed to appeal to youth–the JUUL e-cigarette.” One quarter of Pennsylvania high school students have reported current use of e-cigarettes and more than one-in-ten middle school students reported use.
