The CEO of the popular e-cigarette company Juul called the nearly 200 cases of vaping-related illnesses “worrisome” — but said his popular products will stay on the market "until we see some facts.”

Speaking to "CBS This Morning," Kevin Burns addressed the series of vaping-related lung illnesses reported in at least 22 states that have resulted in dozens of hospitalizations and at least one death.

The cases are “worrisome for the category,” Burns told the outlet. “Worrisome for us if we contributed to it.”
