Digital addiction, legal issues?

recently, i was watching 60 minutes and one of the stories was a piece on how app developers use psychological tricks, skinner boxes etc. to keep people using the apps. i was wondering if there are any laws or legal precedent of a company being sued for producing and selling an addictive app.

i could see a case being made for some app, somehow being knowingly and maliciously developed to trigger addictive behaviors, a little bit any way.

any thoughts?

thanks-
