Juul users have started receiving payments from a $300 million class action lawsuit settlement. One suit was for unlawful marketing to minors and that customers would have paid less money if more information about the addictiveness would have been provided. Juul customers have said they're getting from a couple hundred dollars to upwards of $9,000.

Juul and Altria, which owns 35% of Juul, were accused of misleading consumers about the e-cigarettes’ addictiveness and safety.

Juul agreed to a $255 million settlement last year, while the tobacco giant Altria — which invested in Juul — also agreed to pay $45 million. People who purchased Juul products before December 7th, 2022, were able to submit a claim.

Payouts from Juul’s $300M settlement are starting to go out, and the massive payments are shocking users across social media.

Some people are getting a payday from two of America’s biggest tobacco companies. E-cigarette maker Juul and Altria Group — the company formerly known as Phillip Morris, which owns 35% of Juul — agreed to pay $300 million in a class-action settlement over claims they misled consumers about their products’ safety and addictiveness.
