Philip Morris International and Swedish Match face a class-action lawsuit alleging Zyn oral nicotine pouches are addictive and harmful to young people.

Philip Morris International is facing a lawsuit alleging that its oral nicotine pouch product, Zyn, is addictive and harmful to young people. The plaintiff, Bailey Wolters, claims addiction and dental issues as a result of his use of Zyn. The lawsuit seeks class-action status and names Swedish Match as a defendant, arguing that the companies failed to warn about the risk of addiction and other harmful effects. Zyn has gained popularity among teens due to marketing and is marketed towards adult tobacco users but has garnered attention from younger audiences due to its presence on social media.
