E-Cigarette Lawsuits

E-cigarettes have been linked to hundreds of cases of lung disease and damage across the country.

E-Cigarette Use

The U.S. Surgeon General has declared an “e-cigarette epidemic among youth.” In 2018 the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine published a report on the Public Health Consequences of E-Cigarettes. In April 2019, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) began investigating reports of seizures related to the use of vaping products. E-cigarette lawsuits have also claimed these products cause bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP) and hemorrhagic strokes. Many plaintiffs state that they became addicted to e-cigarettes, which led to or worsened their condition, due to the high levels of nicotine and chemical additives in the vape fluids.

Risks Of E-Cigarettes And Vaping

For a time, companies manufacturing these products said that vaping and e-cigarettes were less harmful than traditional cigarettes, but this statement has been challenged as false and recent news stories have disclosed the extremely harmful effects of these products. E-cigarettes and vaping pose a number of health risks including:

Nicotine addiction
Mouth and throat irritation
Coughing and wheezing
Worsening asthma
Chest pain
Increased blood pressure
Raised heart rate
Upset stomach
Nausea
Worsening depression and anxiety
Nicotine poisoning
Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP)
Hemorrhagic strokes
Popcorn lung

Additionally, the liquid used in e-cigarette cartridges is poisonous if drunk or if it comes into contact with eyes or skin.
