🚨 Minnesota sues vape maker Loon over illegal flavored sales

Newsbreak
Minnesota AG sues Loon for illegally selling flavored e‑cigarettes targeting minors.

Summary

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison filed a lawsuit in Ramsey County against Maduro Distributors, Inc., the company behind the Loon brand of e‑cigarettes. The suit alleges that Loon illegally marketed and sold flavored vapes—such as Cotton Candy, Blue Razz Slushy, and Banana Taffy—designed to attract minors. It also claims that Loon falsely suggested its products were FDA‑approved, despite not having such approval. The complaint seeks a permanent ban on Loon’s sales in Minnesota, civil penalties up to $25,000 per violation, restitution, and recovery of legal costs. This action follows earlier warnings and investigations into Loon’s practices and is part of Ellison’s broader effort to protect young Minnesotans from deceptive or harmful vaping products.
