FDA warns Juul about advertising to school children

Published



The Food and Drug Administration put Juul Labs Inc., on notice Monday for allegedly advertising their products as “much safer than cigarettes” to kids in a school presentation.

The FDA is investigating House Oversight Committee testimony from two teens that they saw a Juul representative give a presentation in school saying not only that the products are “totally safe,” but also that each student “should mention JUUL to his [nicotine-addicted] friend … because that’s a safer alternative than smoking cigarettes, and it would be better for the kid to use.”
