Three cannabis companies have been ordered to cease operations in Colorado following a settlement after their products were linked to health risks they failed to disclose, according to the Colorado Attorney General's Office.
On Sept. 19, Attorney General Phil Weiser announced that he had reached a $400,000 settlement with the manufacturers and distributors of the "1906" brand of cannabis products, along with their co-founder, Peter Barsoom.
Under the settlement, three companies – Nuka Enterprises LLC, Sima Sciences LLC, and Nuka Properties LLC – have been ordered to stop their operations in Colorado. The settlement followed an investigation into the 1906 brand, which found that the three companies had failed to disclose health risks associated with the products while misrepresenting the products' health benefits, the AG's office said.
"Colorado's cannabis regulations are the nationwide gold standard for protecting consumers, and the companies in this case broke the law by failing to disclose potential health risks from their products," Weiser said. "With this action, I am holding the companies and one of its co-founders accountable to ensure they face consequences for their deceptive business practices. I will continue to hold accountable those who evade Colorado's cannabis and consumer protection laws."
