Altria sues Juul for settlement details in teen vaping case
Altria has urged a court to demand Juul disclose the settlement details with 10,000 plaintiffs seeking accountability for teen vaping.

Altria Group Inc, the biggest stakeholder in Juul Labs Inc, has requested a federal judge to order the e-cigarette company to hand over details of a settlement reached with about 10,000 plaintiffs who hold Juul responsible for the popularity of e-cigarette use among teenagers.


A company headquartered in Virginia filed a motion with the Federal Court in San Francisco on Wednesday, stating that a settlement agreement worth $1.7 billion has been reached. However, the agreement is still confidential even to other parties involved in the litigation, according to the Wall Street Journal.
