JUUL Labs Collection
This collection contains documents related to the e-cigarette brand JUUL and come from a number of sources:
State of North Carolina v. JUUL Labs, Inc
Documents subject to public disclosure under the terms of JUUL Labs’s 2021 settlement with North Carolina, which resolved the state’s lawsuit against the e-cigarette company. North Carolina sued JUUL Labs in 2019, claiming the company’s marketing practices fueled widespread addiction to nicotine among young people and caused a public health crisis. The North Carolina settlement specifies that the documents be made public through a repository operated and maintained by a North Carolina public university. UNC was selected to serve this role and has partnered with IDL to host and preserve the documents for permanent public access.
