LANSING, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — The Michigan Marijuana Regulatory Agency (MRA) is announcing that a settlement has been reached with the Walled Lake-based safety compliance facility Iron Laboratories LLC.
Iron Laboratories had its license suspended in August when the MRA determined that the operations of the company were putting citizens and employees at risk.
According to an official press release, the alleged violations are related to Iron Laboratories’ testing and reporting results for pesticides, yeasts and molds (microbials), and THC content.
Iron Laboratories must now pay a $100,000 fine, update its procedures and practices, and provide additional data and reports to the MRA for one year.
“Michigan’s marijuana laws and rules were established to provide safe sources of medical marijuana to Michigan residents,” Attorney General Dana Nessel said in the press release. “Accurate testing and transparent reporting are critical to ensuring a safe product, and misleading or unreliable information only impedes that process. Our office is committed to working closely with the Marijuana Regulatory Agency to take action against those facilities that disregard the rules to the detriment of the public and industry fairness.”
The company will have to meet several requirements before it can resume operations, including forbidding CEO Michael Goldman from engaging in any company transactions for 180 days.
