After joining in on a lawsuit last year to hold e-cigarette company Juul Labs Inc. accountable for widespread use of the nicotine products among high school students, the Port Townsend School District is set to receive more than $8,000 from a settlement.
Hundreds of school districts across more than 30 U.S. states joined in on the lawsuit, led by Frantz Law Group of California, including the Port Townsend School District. Port Townsend joined the lawsuit in
April 2022.
The e-cigarette manufacturer agreed to a $438.5 million settlement in September, and the local school district is set to receive $8,325, not including attorney’s fees, case costs, and other potential deductions.
The Port Townsend School District’s board of directors unanimously approved the settlement at its last meeting.
