California Lawsuit Takes Aim At Cannabis 'Lab Shopping' As Dangerous Pesticides End Up In Popular Weed Products
California-based Shield Management has allegedly "lab shopped" to camouflage that it has sold tainted products. As reported by Green Market Report's Debra Borchardt, 23 of its products failed tests, as the company engaged a lab that turned "a blind eye to pesticide contaminants so that failed products can continue to be sold."Kayla Esmond, the plaintiff in the lawsuit filed earlier this month in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Orange, claimed it has independently tested the products from the West Coast Cure and Phire, only to find they contain the contaminants.
