Baltimore County, Md., filed a class-action lawsuit on Monday against Juul Labs in the Northern District of California, where the consolidated cases against Juul and related companies are being heard. The 313-page redacted complaint purported that the electronic cigarette companies and individuals involved with the companies strategized to maximize profits by causing consumers to become addicted. As a jurisdiction, the county purported that the prevalence of Juul e-cigarettes has incurred additional costs to the county.
“Defendants’ misconduct alleged herein is not a series of isolated incidents, but instead the result of a sophisticated youth marketing scheme and related cover-up scheme that has caused a continuing, substantial, and long-term burden on Plaintiff and the services provided by Plaintiff,” the complaint alleged.
