Summary

Cheef Holdings, which sells under the name Cheef Botanicals, was listed in California Attorney General Rob Bonta's September 2023 complaint against nine online hemp sellers. The office alleged sales of inhalable hemp products in breach of AB 45 and missing Proposition 65 warnings. The complaint, filed in Alameda County Superior Court on September 8, 2023, alleges the online sellers violated AB 45 by selling inhalable hemp products, Proposition 65 by omitting warnings for commercial hemp products, and California's unfair competition law. The AG asked the court to block further sales and to impose damages and penalties.
