Summary

Life Leaf Medical CBD Center in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, received a joint FDA–FTC warning letter dated July 15, 2024. The FDA says the business's website sold delta-8 THC 'Nerd Ropes' in several flavors, 'Stoneos' cookies and delta-8 cereal treats. The letter compares these items with Nerds Rope candy, Oreo Double Stuf cookies and crispy rice cereal treats, and the agencies' announcement pointed to a 'Double Stuff Stoneo' product as an example. According to the FDA, delta-8 THC is not an approved or generally recognized as safe food ingredient, so the products were adulterated. The FTC said packaging that copies snacks children eat may be an unfair practice under the FTC Act and asked the business to explain its corrective steps within 15 days. The FDA asked for a written response within 15 working days. The business's current product range was not verified.
