Media reports of persons hospitalized involving the 2019 vaping lung illness outbreak

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki

People across the US have been hospitalized as a result of vaping.[1] People were having respiratory issues by the time they got to the hospital.[2] In 2019, an outbreak of severe lung disease was linked to vaping.[1] No one compound or ingredient has emerged as the cause of these illnesses as of October 2019; and it may be that there is more than one cause of this outbreak.[1] The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that since the specific causes or causes of vaping-associated lung injury are not yet known, the only way to assure that a person is not at risk while the investigation continues is to consider refraining from use of all e-cigarette, or vaping, products.[1]

The CDC states that advising persons to discontinue use of e-cigarette, or vaping, products should be an integral part of the care approach during an inpatient admission and should be re-emphasized during outpatient follow-up.[3] Quitting of e-cigarette, or vaping, products might speed recovery from this injury; resuming use of e-cigarette, or vaping, products has the potential to cause recurrence of symptoms or lung injury.[3] Evidence-based tobacco product quitting strategies include behavioral counseling and US Food and Drug Administration (US FDA)-approved cessation medications.[3]

Lawsuits over respiratory lung injuries purportedly resulting from vaping extend from California to Florida.[4] Teenagers who were admitted to the hospital due to vaping-induced lung illnesses are sharing their stories and telling others to quit vaping.[5] People are being admitted to the hospital and are being placed in a medically induced coma.[6] Many persons have required medical treatment with supplemental oxygen.[1] Some required assisted ventilation.[1] A handful of individuals have been re-admitted for clinical care after discharge for lung injury.[7]

On September 23, 2019, a product liability lawsuit, Charles Wilcoxson v. Canna Brand Solutions LLC et al., was filed in Superior Court of Pierce County, Washington, against makers of THC vape cartridges.[8] Wilcoxson, a peace officer, had used THC vape products between January 2018 and September 2019.[8] He bought cannabis products that included Conscious Cannabis, Rainbows Aloft, Leafwerx, MFused, and Jane's Garden.[8] All of these companies are cited as defendants, according to the compliant.[8] The supplier of plaintiff's vaporizer was Canna Brand Solutions, which was also cited as a defendant.[8] On September 11, 2019, the plaintiff was vaping and that night he was wheezing very badly.[8] By Monday morning he was taken to the emergency room and was told he has lipoid pneumonia as a result of his vaping, according to the complaint.[8] He was in the hospital for three days.[8]

In May 2019, 21-year-old Connor Evans was hospitalized for more than two weeks and was in a medically induced coma for 8 days.[9] He initially thought he had the flu.[10] His lungs were accumulating with fluid and he coughing.[9] At 19, Evans started using Juul products and eventually he had trouble breathing.[9] He purportedly developed an addiction to Juul mint pods.[11] After being discharged from a Pennsylvania hospital Evans took legal action against Juul in October 2019.[9] Juul purportedly did not disclose the dangers of what its pod system can do to people and deceptively advertised its products as being safer than combustible cigarettes, according to the complaint.[9] Evan's attorney stated that Juul is selling pods in the US with high concentrations of nicotine.[9] Juul advertises its products to intentionally entice underage individuals and young adults as well as people who are never frequent smokers, according to the complaint.[9]

In September 2019, 18-year-old student Adam Hergenreder stated his attorney took legal action in Illinois against Juul after doctors told him his lungs are like that of a 70 year old.[12] He was admitted to a hospital in August 2019.[12] He was in the intensive care unit at Advocate Condell Medical Center.[13] He was unable to breath without being given oxygen.[14] He was vaping for more than 18 months.[12] He began vaping when he was 16 and the Juul flavors he liked most were mint and mango.[14] He fell prey to Juul's misleading marketing, according to the complaint.[12] Juul used social media to target young people, according to his lawyers.[15] Juul did not inform the public what they were selling contained toxic substances, according to the complaint.[16] The gas station where he said he bought the Juul pods when he was a minor is also named as a defendant in the lawsuit.[12]

In September 2019, 35-year-old Erin Gilbert from Virgin Islands has filed a lawsuit in Broward County, Florida, contending that her sickness was the result of a CBD vape oil containing mango flavor that she had purchased from a merchant in Saint Croix.[4] She had severe respiratory problems and she had multiple organ failure and deficient supply of oxygen, resulting in necrosis of her legs.[4] Both her legs had to be amputated.[4] She used the vape oil for just a few days.[4] She arrived at a Saint Croix hospital in August 2019 and was eventually airlifted to Miami.[4] She was in critical condition at the Jackson Memorial Hospital when the lawsuit was filed.[4] Just CBD was cited as a defendant.[4]
