Juul Reaches $462 Million Settlement with New York, California, Massachusetts and Others
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Juul Labs has reached a $462 million settlement with New York,
California and other states over lawsuits that accused the e-cigarette
company of aggressive marketing tactics, leading to a youth vaping
crisis. It's the latest settlement in a litany of lawsuits against Juul,
which has yet to receive official regulatory approval for its highly
addictive products. Juul has withdrawn many of its flavored products
from the shelves following criticism that it targeted young people.
