JUUL Mass Torts & Lawsuits
JUUL Accused of Downplaying Product Dangers
The Farmer & Klopfer is currently hearing from people across the country who are addicted to nicotine after using JUUL vaporizer products, which were advertised as a “safer” alternative to cigarettes. Research into the products has shown that most e-cigarettes and vape pens have more nicotine than many cigarette brands, making them more likely to cause an addiction. People are now suing JUUL for its misleading advertising. You should, too, if you or your child have become addicted to nicotine because of a JUUL.

About the JUUL Addiction Lawsuits
JUUL Labs has been accused of falsely advertising the safety or relative safety of its vaporizer products and e-cigarettes, including JUUL pods. The nicotine in JUUL products is often more than other comparable products, but the risks of nicotine addiction were greatly downplayed by the company in marketing and packaging materials.
To make matters worse, JUUL has been accused of intentionally trying to market to children and teens, the demographics most likely to become addicted to nicotine through semi-regular use. JUUL vape products have been sold in “fun” flavors and colors to allegedly attract children. The company also reportedly paid vendors considerable sums to place JUUL displays front-and-center at checkout stands and right next to other child-targeting products like gums, baseball cards, etc.
Parents across the country are now demanding that JUUL be held accountable for the countless nicotine addictions that have begun in the nation’s younger generations. You should explore your options to take legal action against JUUL, too, if your child is addicted to nicotine because of their products, or if you are addicted and used a JUUL before you turned 18.
Irresponsible Corporate Behavior
JUUL Labs has a multibillion-dollar value today. But parents argue that the company has made the majority of its money from teens who became addicted to their products due to false and misleading marketing strategies.
In the past, JUUL has conducted “educational” seminars at middle schools to warn students of the dangers of nicotine addiction. While such presentations might seem good on the surface, they have been criticized for exposing children to the concept of vaping and using nicotine products, something they might not have considered at all without the presentation. Essentially, the seminars have been described as a corporate ploy to advertise directly to youths.
It was only after the federal government threatened JUUL with fines that the company stopped its school presentations. Legislation was also necessary for JUUL to put prominent nicotine warnings on its products. Overall, JUUL Labs has been accused of irresponsible corporate behavior that amounts to egregious company negligence at best and intentional wrongdoing at worst, which both warrant lawsuits in pursuit of compensation.

JUUL Lawsuit FAQ
- Can you sue for damage caused by JUUL products other than nicotine addiction?
Nicotine addiction is not the only danger posed by JUUL and other e-cigarette products. We can assist people who were using a vape pen when it exploded or caught fire, resulting in their severe injury. There might even be grounds to sue JUUL if you developed lung cancer or another respiratory disease due to using its vape products because the company’s ads led you to believe that they were safer than cigarettes. - Is there an age limit for a JUUL lawsuit?
JUUL addiction lawsuits are mostly limited to claimants who are under 18 or who used a JUUL before turning 18 and are now addicted to nicotine. - Can I file a claim on behalf of my child?
Minors cannot file lawsuits on their own. As the parent of a legal minor who has become addicted to the nicotine in JUUL products, you maintain the right to file a claim on their behalf.

Keeps in touch with you throughout the whole process, and even after your case is over with
“
I just recently had James E. Farmer handle my second DUI and I received the best possible outcome I could've wished for. The judge I had could've really laid down the hammer on me but James worked his magic and did an incredible job. He knows what he is talking about and is very humble. He keeps in touch with you throughout the whole process, and even after your case is over with, and he explains everything so you know exactly what is going on. This is my first time hiring James and without a doubt, I would hire him again. He would be the first person I'd call if another legal problem should ever rise-- though I've made a promise to myself to stay away from the law as much as possible. He will be highly recommended to anyone that asks me if I know a great lawyer.

Thorough and attentive to my case from the beginning
“From the initial consultation, I knew I needed James Farmer and his team on my side. He was thorough and attentive to my case from the beginning, prior to even hiring his firm. Once I officially hired his firm, he and his colleague Mr. Melvin Allen moved to strategically place me in the best position possible. They supported me throughout the process by making sure I understood what was happening and I felt extremely grateful to have them on my side! Long story short, my case was successfully completed with a favorable outcome! An outcome I couldn’t even imagine was possible but Mr. Allen’s expertise, strategy, and courtroom presence made it all possible! My wife and I are forever grateful and will always look to this firm on any future needs and you should, too!”

Kind, sympathetic, reassuring and more importantly, very knowledgeable
“I couldn’t be happier with the service I received from this law firm. I felt comfortable from the minute I first walked through the door. I had less than two weeks before the expiration of my personal injury filing date and was overwhelmed. My first appointment was with Elizabeth who took my huge stack of papers with a smile and said, “Let me take care of this for you.” Although all of the staff that I encountered were wonderful, my main experience was with Mr. Farmer and Elizabeth who were both kind, sympathetic, reassuring and more importantly, very knowledgeable. My case was handled professionally and in a timely fashion. My case was recently concluded and I am very happy with the outcome and would not hesitate to use them again or recommend them to my friends and family in the future. Need a good law firm, no need to look further.”

Thank you, Mr. Farmer, and may God bless you in your future endeavors.
“You and your team have given my family our son back. No amount can adequately compensate for that gift! I can only hope our heart-felt thank-you and 'God bless you' will somehow offset the imbalance.”
