And finally… high stakes
A cannabis company in the US is facing a class action lawsuit from dissatisfied customers over claims its products aren’t as potent as promised.
California-based DreamFields Brands sells premium products advertised as having a higher level of psychoactive tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), CBS News reports.
However, a lawsuit filed by two customers claims that DreamFields products sold as having a THC content as high as 46 per cent actually contained between 23 per cent and 27 per cent.
Attorney Christin Cho, representing the two men, said: “Consumers are willing to pay more for cannabis products with higher THC content, and expect to pay less for cannabis products with lower THC content.”
The men are now seeking to bring a class action lawsuit on behalf of “millions of other consumers” against the company for alleged false advertising, intentional misrepresentation and unjust enrichment, among other charges.
