Attorney General Ellison filed a lawsuit in Ramsey County today against e-cigarette manufacturer Maduro Distributors, Inc., doing business as Loon, for the illegal manufacture, distribution, and sale of flavored vapes that appeal to youth. Loon has sold these nicotine-laced products in flavors like “Cotton Candy,” “Strawberry Popsicle,” “Banana Taffy,” and “Blue Razz Slushy,” and has also used kid-friendly characters to promote its vapes.

"Today, I filed a lawsuit to halt the distribution and sale of Loon vapes in Minnesota. State law bans the sale of e-cigarettes that are designed to appeal to young people. By selling vapes with flavors like Cotton Candy, Blue Razz Slushy, and Mountain Dude, Loon is in clear violation of that law. I have no tolerance for corporations that prey on young people to turn a profit, from big tobacco to big tech and beyond. As long as I am Attorney General of Minnesota, this office will fight to protect young people across our state.” – AG Ellison
