“#Juul will pay $40M to settle suit over marketing to minors<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

E-cigarette maker Juul Labs agreed to pay $40 million to North Carolina to settle a lawsuit by the state accusing it of marketing its products to minors.<\/p>\n

The settlement, announced on Monday by North Carolina Attorney General<\/a> Josh Stein, is the first reached by the company with a state government. The deal also includes restrictions on sales of products that app<\/a>eal to minors and requires Juul to produce yearly reports demonstrating its compliance.<\/p>\n

Stein told a news<\/a> conference he began investigating Juul after \u201chearing from friends about the devastation that this product had visited on kids\u2019 lives \u2013 addiction, depression, bad grades, switching schools, medical treatment and more.\u201d<\/p>\n

Juul, in which Marlboro maker Altria Group took a 35 percent stake in 2018, did not immedia<\/a>tely respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n

Juul\u2019s e-cigarettes resemble USB flash drives and work by vaporizing a nicotine-laced liquid. In its 2019 lawsuit, North Carolina said the company downplayed the potential harm its products can cause, fueling an \u201cepidemic\u201d of vaping among minors.<\/p>\n

Under pressure from regulators, the company \u2014 which is led by CEO K.C. Crosthwaite \u2014 had already pulled popular flavors such as mango and cucumber from retail store shelves and shut down its social media channels on Instagram and Facebook.<\/p>\n

The company still faces more than 2,000 lawsuits over its e-cigarette marketing. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission in March asked Juul and other e-cigarette makers to hand over sales and advertising data.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
