Attorney General Phil Weiser announced today that he has reached a settlement with the manufacturers and distributors of the 1906 brand of cannabis products, along with their co-founder, Peter Barsoom, after an investigation found the companies failed to disclose health risks associated with the products to consumers and misrepresented the products’ health benefits.
“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,” said Attorney General Weiser. “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.”
