Class counsel filed a motion to distribute the remaining settlement funds from the $300 million Juul false advertising class action settlement. If approved, certain claimants will receive an additional settlement payment. The settlement administrator issued the initial payments between Oct. 18, 2024, and May 30, 2025.
According to the motion, which counsel filed on Feb. 26, 2026, out of 843,451 approved claimants, 733,055 cashed their checks or accepted a digital payment, leaving $15,371.264.82 in remaining settlement funds.
Juul Labs Inc. and Altria agreed to pay $300 million to settle a class action lawsuit alleging deceptive marketing practices. The plaintiffs claimed consumers overpaid for Juul products because the company did not provide accurate information about the products’ addictiveness and safety and that Juul unlawfully marketed the product to minors. The court grants final approval to the settlements in September 2023 and March 2024, respectively.

Why is there a class action settlement?
The class action lawsuit alleged plaintiffs paid more for Juul products than they would have if the company provided accurate information about the products’ addictiveness and safety. The plaintiffs also claimed Juul unlawfully marketed the products to minors.
The defendants denied the allegations but agreed to settle to avoid the expense and uncertainty involved in continued litigation.
