There are so many reasons why I am so proud to be working with Kannaway. One of the main reasons is because of the quality of our CBD and our testing: we set the standard for the industry.đź’š The findings of this report are truly disturbing:
“It’s concerning and it’s alarming,” Martinez told the I-Team, when he reviewed the results of our lab report. That report revealed that two of the brands of oils tested had samples rejected by the lab because they do not meet California standards for quality control.
The brand Lazarus Naturals was flagged by Evio Labs because it’s sample contained dangerous amounts of lead according to FDA standards.
“It had four times the amount of lead than is approved. If a child gets their hands on these products, it could be life threatening,” Martinez told the I-Team.
NBC 4 New York purchased the Lazarus Naturals sample from an independent seller off Groupon. However, Lazarus Naturals said they couldn’t verify that the sample is of their product since they have experienced a problem with counterfeit products sold on unapproved marketplaces.
One sample we purchased from CBDistillery contained one pesticide that exceeds California’s acceptable standards. A company spokesperson told NBC 4 New York that the batch in question was tested by “an accredited third party lab,” and the amounts of pesticides detected passed that laboratory standards.
Additionally, NBC 4 New York purchased Jolly Green CBD oil online and in store.
“This is 500mg,” one of the store clerks told us.
Turns out, that was not the case, according to the test results.
Martinez told NBC 4 New York: “Less than half of the samples that were tested actually had the stated amount of CBD inside the product.”
