CT Attorney General William Tong announced that Triggered Brand will cease all sales of bootleg GLP-1 weight loss drugs, resolving a lawsuit brought by the state in May alleging violations of the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act. As part of the settlement, Triggered Brand will also be subject to a $300,000 judgment, suspended after $18,500. Should Triggered violate the terms of the settlement, the company and its CEO Sam Stolt will be responsible for the full $300,000 judgment. “Triggered Brand and its CEO Sam Stolt sold knockoff drugs direct to Connecticut consumers with no prescriptions, no medical oversight, and no safety controls. This was unsafe and unlawful, and we’re shutting it down. Our investigations into other bootleg sellers are active and ongoing, and we will not hesitate to use the full weight of our law enforcement authority to protect patient safety. Do not buy these medications online without a prescription. Talk to your doctor and pharmacy, and do not take risks with your health and safety.” – AG Tong
