Summary

Oregon's liquor and cannabis regulator approved a stipulated settlement with Lightscale, Inc., which operated the testing laboratory Lightscale Labs. The Notice alleged that, from about October 31, 2020 to about February 11, 2021, the lab issued Certificates of Analysis saying samples had no actionable levels of pesticides even though its own quality-control measures had shown its equipment could not test for several pesticide types. OLCC's settlement records a civil penalty of $5,750 or a 23-day suspension in place of the originally proposed 32-day suspension. OLCC notes that the state laboratory-accreditation program had re-certified the lab and that the settlement was coordinated with it.
