The settlement administrator reportedly validated 842,004 claims out of a record-breaking 14 million total claims filed.
Were the JUUL Payouts Legit?
Yes. The JUUL class action payments were legitimate. The payout process began on October 21, 2024, with timing varying based on the payment method each claimant selected.What Was the JUUL Payout Per Person?
The payout per person varied widely, from about $32 to nearly $5,000 per claim, depending on how much the claimant spent on JUUL products and whether they had proof, documentation, or completed the claim form more fully.Background on the JUUL Settlements
A nearly half-billion-dollar resolution was reached with JUUL Labs, a leading e-cigarette maker. As part of the broader settlements, a $438.5 million fund was established following class action lawsuits and investigations spanning roughly two years. The first major consumer settlement with JUUL Labs was reached for $300 million (after initially being agreed at $255 million) and accepted claims with no proof of purchase required for basic claims.The JUUL lawsuits alleged that JUUL and other e-cigarette manufacturers unlawfully marketed their products to minors and did not adequately disclose potential health risks. JUUL also agreed to have an independent monitor oversee its business practices going forward. The cases began as investigations into whether JUUL had violated public-health laws and marketed addictive products to young people.
One report found that a large share of youth who vape have tried JUUL at least once. The settlements were a significant setback for JUUL, which has maintained that its products are intended for adult smokers, and reflect regulators taking a harder look at how e-cigarette companies advertise their products.
