Juul Settlement Distributes Unexpected Payouts to Customers

Recipients of the $300 million settlement share surprise over the varying amounts received from the class action lawsuit.

Juul and Altria settled a lawsuit for $300 million over allegations of misleading marketing and targeting minors.
Over 842,000 claims were validated from more than 14 million submissions, with payouts ranging from $15 to over $10,000.
Payments began in October 2024, with recipients posting their surprise on social media platforms like TikTok and Reddit.
The settlement stemmed from claims that Juul products were marketed without disclosing their addictiveness and safety risks.
Juul and Altria have not admitted wrongdoing, and a court has not ruled on the legality of their marketing practices.
