New Bluetooth-Enabled Juul Device Collects Personal Data to Ensure Legal Use of Product

Oct 7, 2019

Gizmodo reports, “As Juul explores ever-more creative means by which to curb what government officials refer to as an ‘epidemic’ of teen vaping, one of its latest stabs at that undertaking involves collecting personally identifying data to verify that a user is legally allowed to use its products.” The Juul C1 “is a Bluetooth-enabled device that allows its user to do things like monitor their pull count, lock the device, and locate the device if it’s missing – all through a paired mobile app.” Gizmodo says Juul “collects a breathtaking amount of data on users with a Juul C1 device.” The piece adds that in April, former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb “threatened that if Juul could not adequately commit to curbing the use of its products among youth, they could be yanked altogether.”

From the news release of the American Association for Justice.
