A class action lawsuit against two California companies on Tuesday alleges they sold products in which the THC content was misrepresented as being higher than it actually is.
Law firm Dovel & Luner announced it filed a suit against Ironworks Collective Inc. and Stiiizy LLC on behalf of California consumers who purchased cannabis products with inaccurate THC content labels.
The lawsuit alleges that the defendants, who make, sell, and market “Stiiizy” brand cannabis products, overcharged consumers by illegally selling products whose THC content was represented as substantially higher than it actually was.
The complaint filed in the Superior Court of the State of California County of Los Angeles, alleges Ironworks Collective Inc. and Stiiizy LLC violated the consumer protection laws of California. That includes California’s Unfair Competition Law and False Advertising Law.
The complaint alleges that testing by an independent laboratory reveals that the true THC content of the products is materially less than the amount listed on the label, and is far greater than the 10% margin of error that regulations permit.
“The THC content declared on the label of Defendants’ cannabis products is typically very high (in excess of 40% for infused flower pre-rolls),” the lawsuit states. “Because cannabis consumers generally prefer and are willing to pay more for high-THC cannabis products, declaring that their products have a very high THC content allows Defendants to charge premium rates for their cannabis products. The declarations of THC content on Defendants’ labels, however, are false.”
