  • North Dakota AG Drew Wrigley has reached a settlement with the owners and operators of www.delta8resellers.com (Delta 8 Resellers), resolving allegations that the company violated state consumer protection laws by selling and shipping illegal vaping products to state residents.
  • In its Assurance of Voluntary Compliance, the state alleges that Delta 8 Resellers advertised and sold adulterated or misbranded products containing controlled substances to North Dakota consumers, and also sold electronic smoking devices, including vape pens, to a minor. The company denies the allegations.
  • Under the settlement, Delta 8 Resellers must cease all North Dakota sales for one year and, if it resumes, implement age-verification measures and refrain from offering prohibited products. The company will also pay $10,000 in penalties and consumer refunds, with $5,000 suspended pending compliance.
  • The Nebraska AG has reached similar settlements with retailers accused of selling mislabeled or harmful synthetic THC products.
  • Cozen O’Connor’s recent State AG Pulse episode “Don’t Mess With Our Health or Our Kids!” compares state AG actions against e-cigarette companies to a game of regulatory Whack-A-Mole and warns that products affecting consumer health or minors will face intense scrutiny.
