JUUL has been the target of many recent, consumer-facing legal battles claiming that JUUL manufacturers have been deceptively marketing their nicotine-packed e-cigarettes to minors. With the increasing numbers of JUUL-related deaths and injuries, consumers are beginning to take a stand.
Taking on big names like JUUL isn’t an easy feat. And like solving most problems, the first step is coming forward. However, there are reasons some victims are hesitant to get involved with JUUL litigation.
Fear of striking out with JUUL litigation
For most people, seeking legal help is often the last resort. This fear is rooted in the idea that legal battles are a long, tedious and expensive process. Some people take a step back to avoid the expenses associated with getting legal help.
Fact or fiction about JUUL litigation
Common misconceptions about legal claims prevent a lot of people from pursuing justice. With our JUUL class action lawsuit, you won’t have to worry about a thing. Let us help you navigate the process of filing a claim while debunking these common myths.
Fear of expensive fees and painfully long processes
While most law firms ask for costly up-front fees, Heninger Garrison Davis does not. In order to achieve the sort of change we’re looking to accomplish, we need your help by telling us about your JUUL experience.
And after filing an online or phone claim, you’ll be contacted by a member of our staff to document important information about your case. We’ll ask such questions as to when you started smoking JUUL, how you obtained the device, and the side effects you’ve experienced due to JUUL. So the process is actually quite simple and not time-consuming at all.
Our goal is to make this process as smooth as possible. By filing a claim with us, all we’ll need is a few hours of your time. Most of the cases are completed without the need for face to face meetings. If there is a need to meet in person, we’ll come to you.
Fear of losing
“Don’t let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game!” This popular quote sums up your experience with filing a claim against JUUL. We need your voice in order to prevent JUUL Labs from kickstarting addiction and bodily harm to minors across the nation. You will not be charged with hidden fees or follow up appointments.
JUUL: harmful side effects and intentional youth targeting
Like many social movements, it takes a little bravery and a lot of confidence. There are more than enough reasons to join the thousands of people making their voice count. JUUL Labs produces a product that causes real harm and has chosen the youth marketplace to target. Here are just a few examples of how young people can be affected by JUUL, and deceptive advertising campaigns they employ:
Discreet design
JUUL takes advantage of its slim design and ease of use to make vaping discreet. Unlike other vape devices, no prior experience or complicated instructions are needed. There aren’t any buttons or settings to adjust – just inhale.
Misleading marketing
JUUL Labs has utilized brightly-colored ads, young models and fruity flavors to reach out directly to young people. Flavors like mango, creme, fruit and cucumber appeal to young smokers, especially the ones who have never smoked a traditional cigarette.
Harmful chemicals
JUUL products contain a significantly higher dosage of nicotine and benzoic acid compared to traditional cigarettes. Research indicates that 1 JUUL pod is equal to 1 pack of cigarettes. While most e-cigarette brands contain 2.4 percent nicotine, JUUL contains 5 percent. Benzoic acid is a substance known for causing coughs, sore throat, abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting, if exposure is constant. A typical amount of benzoic acid in e-cigarettes would be 0.2 to 2 mg/mL; JUUL contains 44.8 mg/mL.
While it’s easy to convince a smoker that vaping is the “healthier” option, a 2017 study found that non-smoking adults were four times more likely to start smoking traditional cigarettes after only 18 months of vaping, which includes “JUULing.”
Long-term consequences
Smoking at an early age reduces the activity in the prefrontal cortex of the brain. This area is critical in influencing a person’s cognitive behavior and decision making while leading to increased sensitivity to other drugs and greater impulsivity. Along with brain function, it’s also proven to hinder lung development if started in adolescence.
