Not every state is satisfied with Juul Labs' multi-state solution regarding its youth marketing. The Maine Attorney General's office stated that the state will back out of the $11 million agreement with the e-cigarette manufacturer due to opposition to certain conditions set by the company.
As part of a nearly $440 million settlement agreement between the manufacturer and 33 states and territories, Maine is set to receive an estimated $11.6 million over the next 6 to 10 years.
However, according to the office of the Maine Corporation, as part of the agreement, Jules wanted states to waive their right to independently file lawsuits related to school districts. Maine disagrees with this.
We are disappointed with the outcome of these negotiations, but ultimately we are not willing to relinquish the rights of other entities who are also seeking accountability from Juul for their deception," said Attorney General Aaron Frey in a statement to Maine Monitor.
It is currently unclear if other states will also abandon the agreement.
