Lawsuit says Juul shipped a million contaminated pods

Half our customers are drunk and vaping like mo-fos, who the fuck is going to notice the quality of our pods? Juul's then-CEO Kevin Burns allegedly said when a senior vice president told him Juul should include an expiration date on the packaging of the nicotine pods it makes. The quote is in a lawsuit filed against the company by an aggrieved former employee.

From Buzzfeed:

A former Juul executive is alleging in a lawsuit that the fast-growing startup shipped out 1 million contaminated e-cigarette pods earlier this year but did not tell customers or issue a recall.

The lawsuit was filed Tuesday by Siddharth Breja, a former senior vice president of global finance who worked at the San Franciscobased company from May 2018 to March 2019. In the lawsuit filed in US District Court for the Northern District of California on the same day that Juul confirmed its plans to lay off about 500 people Breja claims he was retaliated against for raising concerns about the contaminated shipment.
