The Chicago mayor’s office said on Friday a $23.8 million settlement has been reached with Juul Labs Inc over claims that the e-cigarette maker deceptively marketed its products and for selling vaping products to underage users.
The once red-hot vaping company is currently facing thousands of lawsuits filed across the United States over claims on its marketing practices and for contributing to a rising tobacco use amongst youth.
In the settlement, Chicago said Juul has denied and continues.
A Juul spokesman said in an emailed statement that the settlement with Chicago is another step in the company’s ongoing commitment to resolve issues from the past and transition adult smokers away from combustible cigarettes while combating underage use of its products.
According to the settlement, the company has agreed to pay the city $2.8 million within 30 days of the execution of the agreement.
