Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers has reached four new settlements in his statewide litigation campaign against shops selling dangerous synthetic THC products. Six retailers have now settled with the Nebraska Attorney General’s Office.
Hilgers says the campaign was launched in order to address rampant unlawful conduct in the industry, which continues to cause serious harm to Nebraska consumers. “These products have sent Nebraskans, including children, to the hospital and pose a real health risk to the community.”
The most recent settlements were with Greenhouse Grandma in Chadron, A Botanical Dream in North Platte, First Stop Vape Shop in Ogallala and Zy Glam in Scottsbluff. Hilgers says the stores were selling synthetic THC products that were mislabeled.
“Thanks to these settlements, Nebraska consumers are no longer at serious risk of harm due to deceptive and unfair trade practices by these four shops,” Hilgers says. “We appreciate that these stores did the right thing and took these products off the shelves. Our fight continues, and more lawsuits will be filed as we broaden our campaign.”
All four stores have 14 days to turn over all remaining prohibited hemp products containing synthetic THC to the State for immediate destruction.
