Wilson Sonsini Helps Secure Favorable Settlement for Imiracle and Shenzhen iMiracle Technology Co.
A Wilson Sonsini team recently secured a favorable settlement for Imiracle (HK) Limited and Shenzhen iMiracle Technology Co. (collectively, “iMiracle”) in litigation related to the marketing and distribution of Elf Bar-branded flavored disposable vaping devices. NJOY, a U.S.-based manufacturer of tobacco- and menthol-flavored vaping devices, had claimed that iMiracle, as well as several brick-and-mortar and online retailers, had violated the California Unfair Competition Law by marketing, selling, and/or distributing flavored vaping devices in California in violation of California’s statutory ban on flavored vaping devices. 

In January 2025, Wilson Sonsini successfully secured the dismissal of a third company, Guangdong Qisitech Co., Ltd. Following fact discovery, the firm was able to secure a favorable settlement requiring only that iMiracle not sell or ship flavored disposable vaping devices in California for as long as California’s laws regarding flavored vaping devices remain in force.
