WASHINGTON - The Federal Trade Commission is investigating the marketing practices of e-cigarette maker Juul Labs Inc sending shares of tobacco stocks down, a person briefed on the matter said Thursday.
The U.S. House of Representatives and some state attorneys general have also launched separate investigations into the company’s promotion practices. Last year, the Food and Drug Administration conducted a surprise inspection at Juul’s San Francisco headquarter and seized documents. A May 2019 court filing from lawyers, who filed a proposed class action lawsuit against Juul on behalf of customers, disclosed that an unnamed government agency was investigating the company’s marketing practices.
