In the past few months several products liability/public
nuisance/consumer fraud cases were filed against JUUL Labs, Inc.,
in New York State. The cases have generally involved users of
e-cigarettes claiming they have developed addiction and lung
disease. Counsel for JUUL was able to remove several of these cases
to federal court, but at least one new consumer-based case has been
filed which remains in state court. Further, the attorney general
of the State of New York's civil lawsuit against JUUL
continues, with a court-ordered discovery schedule indicating that
the case will proceed into 2022. Copies of the recently-filed
consumer suit and discovery schedule in the State of New York's
case can be accessed
