Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said Tuesday that his office is taking part in a bipartisan, 39-state investigation into e-cigarette company Juul Labs, whose products are popular among teens.
Paxton's office said the investigation was prompted by evidence that Juul Labs misrepresented the health risks associated with its products and promoted them to children who are not of legal age to purchase tobacco products.
Other leading states include Connecticut, Florida, Nevada and Oregon.
“I am pleased to be working alongside other states to determine whether any of Juul’s statements or business practices misled or otherwise harmed consumers,†Paxton said in a statement. “Protecting Texans from deceptive business practices is a high priority for my office, and I am committed to holding companies accountable for the quality, effects, and marketing of their products.â€
