An investigation by U.S. health authorities into whether e-cigarettes can cause seizures was triggered by a handful of people who reportedly used Juul devices, according to Food and Drug Administration documents.
The three seizure reports came through the FDA’s online safety portal, and the agency wasn’t able to formally verify that they were tied to Juul devices. While the company’s e-cigarette dominates the market for the devices, its name is also used as a substitute by some people for any type of vaping.
