‘Scale of counterfeit Juul products is alarming,’ CEO says
Juul Labs Inc. took a step toward keeping Chinese e-cigarette products falsely using the Juul name off the market.
The company filed trademark claims against 30 entities in China for selling counterfeit Juul-brand devices and nicotine pods on EBay Inc., according to a statement Tuesday. Juul was granted a temporary restraining order late last month by a judge in federal court in Alexandria, Virginia, who froze the PayPal accounts of those businesses.
