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.
