A class action lawsuit in Illinois claims that some state-licensed cannabis companies mislabeled cannabis-infused products as concentrates so they could exceed the legal THC limit for certain products.

Full story after the jump.

A class action lawsuit filed against several Illinois-based cannabis companies claims the firms labeled cannabis-infused products as concentrates in order to exceed state limits on THC, Forbes reports. The lawsuit was filed by Chad Alsip, a cannabis consumer, against Wellness Group Pharms and its affiliates, and several entities under Acreage Holdings.

In the lawsuit, the plaintiffs allege that the defendants mislabeled their vape oils as cannabis concentrates which are not subject to the same THC limits as cannabis infused products which allowed consumers to purchase more THC than allowed under state law.

For example, instead of being limited to 500 milligrams of THC in cannabis-infused products, a customer could buy a total of 5 grams of vape oils – 11 times the legal limit – and then be able to purchase another 500 milligrams of cannabis-infused products.

“In doing so, Defendants unlawfully promoted the unregulated overconsumption of cannabis by marketing, promoting, and selling improperly labeled and packaged cannabis products that fail to feature or conform to the safeguards against overconsumption imposed by the Illinois Cannabis Acts. Specifically, safety labels, serving size limits, serving size identification, and legal quantity limits.” — Excerpt from the lawsuit, via Forbes

The lawsuit claims the “conduct is misleading in a material way in that it induced Plaintiffs and the Class Members to purchase Defendants’ Vapable Oils when they otherwise would not have.”

“Defendants,” the lawsuit claims, “made their untrue and/or misleading statements and representations willfully, wantonly, and with a reckless disregard for the truth.”

The lawsuit seeks compensation for statutory violations, fraud, unjust enrichment, and other claims.
