The state of Florida says this CBD product has enough lead to cause lead poisoning
COMPANY CORRECTION ON JULY 28: Summit Labs announced a correction of the indexing numbers to lot No. 730, Batch No. K018.
Tampa-based Summit Labs yanked a one lot of Kore Organic Watermelon CBD Oil Tincture after the Florida Department of Agriculture testing found the oil to be a lead poisoning threat.
The Dept. of Agriculture testing of a random sample came back with lead at 4.7 parts per million, according to Summit Labs’ recall notice. Summitt says its third party testing from the same lot, Batch No. 730, Lot No. K018, came back at 0.5 ppm, but it’s recalling that lot anyway.
The oil comes in 30 ml bottles.
Consumers with the recalled oil can return it to the place of purchase for a refund. If tha refund is refused or consumers have any questions, they should call Summitt at 833-810-5673, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Eastern time, or go to the Kore Organic website, www.Koreorganic.com.
