Sauder Schelkopf is investigating a potential class action lawsuit related to the advertised cannabidiol (“CBD”) levels in CBD gummies. CBD is a chemical found in marijuana that does not contain tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive ingredient found in marijuana. A study of 84 CBD products reportedly showed that numerous products contained less CBD than advertised and that THC was also found in some of the products. It is alleged that the advertised CBD levels in CBD gummies are inaccurate and misleading and that the gummies contain less CBD than advertised.
