JUUL Teen Addiction And Nicotine Epidemic Lawsuits

Juul Lawsuits

Smoking e-cigarettes has greatly spiked in popularity in the past few years and it is negatively impacting the youth in United States of America.

The numbers could be even higher but many injured people are forced into arbitration with those trampoline parks and ordered to sign confidentiality agreements that stop them from telling their story. In a recent video from a...
