11 US Senate Democrats attack JUUL, repeat false fear mongering claims (despite no evidence)

[Bill Godshall]

11 Democrat Senators (most of whom lobbied FDA to impose the Deeming Rule to ban vapor sales to adults) send an accusatory letter to juul's executive

and a letter to FDA's Gottlieb
https://www.durbin.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/FDA Letter - SIGNED.pdf

So of course Fortune ran an article repeating many false claims about juul and vaping without any fact checking at
E-Cigs Like JUUL Are ‘Undermining’ Efforts to Keep Kids Away From Tobacco, Senators Say

More fake news stories about this are expected.

Thank you for Posting this Bill.

I'm getting to the point where I can Name 7 out of those 11 without even seeing the undersigned.

Uh-oh.. I sure hope Juul has documentation showing they introduced their Mango flavored pods into commerce prior to to 8/8/16.

If so, and I were Kevin Burns, I would respond as follows:

1) No.
2) See enclosed documentation showing that these pods were introduced into commerce prior to 8/8/16.
3) Yes, we have hired the law firm of Duwe, Cheatum & Howe to aggressively protect our trademark.
4) Our direct sales are all age-verified, so for those it is 0%. As for sales through retailers, we are in no position to know.
5) Ingredients are listed in the FAQ on our website. Aerosol constituents listed in the PMTA we are preparing, which will be submitted to the FDA when required.
6) These studies will be submitted in PMTA we are preparing, which will be submitted to the FDA when required.
7) We make no secret of the fact that all our products contain nicotine. The premise of the remainder of this question is incorrect as none of our products contain any tobacco.
8) That could be difficult since Twitter users are not required to disclose their age when they create an account.
9) [Tell 'em what they do, I'm not sure what they do since I haven't ordered anything from Juul since 2015].
10) We do not condone such sales, but we have no control over third-party websites, so please direct your questions to them.
11) No.
12) No.

With all due respect,

JUUL Labs, Inc.

Those eleven are so full of it their only usefulness would be as fertilizer.

Be careful, you might burn the plants' roots.
