E-cigarette manufacturer Juul has announced its plan to layoff around 400 employees, reduce its budget by 30% to 40%, and receive cash injections from early investors to stop bankruptcy preparation. The investment and restructure plan are designed to move the company forward, strengthen its financial base, and continue with the product development and scientific research while adhering to discussions with the US Food and Drug Administration. Recently, Juul has faced a plummet in valuation, dropping from $38 billion to $450 million as a result of disputes with the government regarding the sales of e-cigarettes.
