E-cigarettes were marketed as a safe alternative to smoking, but research shows the opposite is true. Vaping has been linked to severe lung injuries, permanent respiratory damage, and even wrongful death. Thousands of lawsuits have been filed against e-cigarette companies like Juul Labs for misleading marketing and concealing the risks of addiction and health complications.
If you or a loved one developed health problems after using e-cigarettes, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit. At Breit Biniazan, our experienced e-cigarette lawsuit attorneys are dedicated to holding these companies accountable. We fight for justice and the financial recovery victims and families deserve.
Health Risks of E-Cigarettes
E-cigarettes are far from harmless. While once advertised as a safer option than cigarettes, evidence now shows vaping can cause life-changing medical conditions.
Popcorn Lung
One of the most well-known risks of vaping is “popcorn lung” (bronchiolitis obliterans). This condition is caused by diacetyl, a chemical found in some e-liquids. Inhalation scars the tiny airways in the lungs, leading to:
Popcorn lung is irreversible. While treatments may help with symptoms, there is no cure.
Other Health Risks Linked to E-Cigarettes
Beyond popcorn lung, e-cigarettes have been tied to several other serious health risks:
-
EVALI (E-cigarette or Vaping-Associated Lung Injury): Thousands of reported cases, some fatal.
-
Nicotine addiction: E-cigarettes often contain high levels of nicotine, leading to dependence, withdrawal, and long-term cardiovascular risks.
-
Heart problems: Studies link vaping to higher blood pressure, irregular heart rhythms, and increased risk of heart attack.
-
Toxic chemical exposure: Users inhale dangerous substances like formaldehyde, acrolein, and heavy metals.
These risks are especially concerning for teens and young adults, the group most aggressively targeted by vape marketing.
Types of E-Cigarette Lawsuits
Juul Lawsuits
Juul has been hit with thousands of lawsuits alleging deceptive marketing, youth targeting, and failure to warn about risks. Many cases involve teens and young adults who became addicted to nicotine or developed health issues after using Juul products.
Youth Vaping Lawsuits
Parents and guardians have filed claims on behalf of minors harmed by vaping. Manufacturers have been accused of intentionally appealing to children through fruity flavors, social media ads, and sleek device designs.
Wrongful Death from Vaping Injuries
Families who lost loved ones due to EVALI or other vaping-related conditions may file wrongful death lawsuits. Compensation can cover funeral expenses, medical bills, lost income, and emotional suffering.
Product Liability Claims
Beyond health risks, defective e-cigarette devices have caused explosions, fires, and burns. Product liability lawsuits hold manufacturers accountable for unsafe design, manufacturing defects, and failure to warn about dangers.
Compensation in an E-Cigarette Lawsuit
Victims of e-cigarette injuries may be entitled to significant financial compensation. Depending on your case, you may recover damages for:
-
Medical expenses (hospital stays, treatments, ongoing care)

Lost income and reduced earning potential

Pain and suffering
