The company did not admit any wrongdoing.
Judge Orrick has yet to approve this but did call it fair and reasonable. The deal involves school district plaintiffs. District Judge William Orrick in San Francisco approved a $255 million settlement resolving the class action alleging the company deceptively marketed the product, downplaying addiction and marketed to minors. Juul, along with tobacco company Altria, settled with Minnesota just a few days later for $60.5 million.
Juul has faced a variety of legal challenges in recent years.
