BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Nov. 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Two vapers from California and Alabama have sued JUUL over injuries to their lungs caused by the JUUL e-cigarette. The two Plaintiffs, Timothy Malaney and Brendan Gorman, allege that they were deceived by JUUL about the risks of addiction and permanent harm from the JUUL nicotine vape, and that their injuries were caused by that deceit.
Attorney Francois M. Blaudeau, MD, JD, who heads the Southern Institute for Medical & Legal Affairs, represents the Plaintiffs, together with Heninger Garrison Davis, LLC partner Lew Garrison. The Plaintiffs' Los Angeles attorney is Steven Ritcheson of Insight PLC.
The Plaintiffs claim that JUUL failed to investigate and/or warn of the potential negative health consequences of its e-cigarette. The company knew or should have known that chemicals and nicotine from the JUUL vape can cause a severe hypersensitivity reaction in the lungs, producing pneumonia and requiring hospitalization in otherwise healthy teenagers and young adults. Additionally, daily JUUL use can lead to restrictive airway disease and permanent lung injury. In patients who never smoked, or only occasionally smoked, the nicotine "hit" of JUUL can lead to nicotine addiction and behavioral dependency.
