The stroke required three brain surgeries and left the plaintiff with left side paralysis, speech impairment and a 50% loss of vision from both eyes, the lawsuit alleges.
Juul is being sued by Maxwell Berger, 22, who claims the company's products caused him to suffer a stroke. Berger regularly purchased Juul products from gas stations and retail stores in Connecticut and New York, the lawsuit states.A Connecticut man is suing Juul Labs for causing him to suffer a massive stroke after he became addicted to the company’s products as a teenager. The case marks the first time the e-cigarette company has been sued for a medical issue this severe.
The suit paints Berger as one of the many teenagers who succumbed to Juul’s viral marketing that made it seem “fun, healthy and cool.” When Berger first tried it, the device had already “become ubiquitous among his high school friends,” the suit claims.
The argument that San Francisco-based Juul intentionally misled consumers through its marketing mirrors other lawsuits that have taken aim at the company. Juul is currently a defendant on seven federal cases in Alabama, California, Florida and New York, five of which involve plaintiffs who are teenagers. One lawsuit alleges a 15-year-old developed seizures from using Juul, but the others don’t go further than holding the company responsible for nicotine addiction.
