Almost Every State in the Nation Reports Lung Injuries from Juul Products
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) there have been thousands of cases of lung injury reported as of the end of October 2019. In fact, they report that all states with the exception of Alaska have reported at least one lung injury that was associated with vaping or e-cigarettes. If you believe you have suffered any type of injury from a Juul product then you may want to talk to an attorney.
A Deeper Look at the Most Recent Statistics
The stats mentioned above from the CDC show that as of October 29, 2019 there were nearly 2,000 reported cases of lung injury caused by e-cigarettes. This includes 37 deaths due to lung injuries and there are more deaths that are under investigation to determine if e-cigarettes like Juul had a part to play. The estimate is that there are between 100 and 149 cases of lung injury in California just from these e-cigarettes and vaping products.
Many Companies and Products May Be at Fault
The above-described stats cover many brands of e-cigarette and vaping products, not just Juul. There are new reports issued nearly daily as the FDA and the CDC continues to try to find the cause of the reported lung injuries. While there have been certain similarities reported, there is no conclusive cause that has come to the forefront.
Recommendations if You Use Juul Products
The CDC suggests that anyone using any type of e-cigarette or vaping product stops immediately. Those who are unwilling to do so should only buy their products from reputable dealers and not on the street. They should also be sure not to add any substances to their vaping products and should not modify their Juul products in any way.
Do You Have a Personal Injury Case?
There is a lot yet to be discovered about these types of cases but one thing we do know is this: Every person in the state of California has the right to be able to trust that the products they use do not have hidden dangers. When a company is negligent in testing or marketing their product, they should be held accountable.
