MjbizdailyCalifornia cannabis regulators’ fraud case against testing lab unravelsAn administrative law judge ruled that the California Department of Cannabis Control failed to prove allegations of fraud and THC potency inflation against BelCosta Labs, ordering the restoration of its license on a probationary basis. Despite this legal victory, the lab remains closed and is unlikely to reopen due to sold equipment and lack of investor backing amidst a shrinking market. The ruling highlighted significant procedural errors by regulators, including improper sample handling, which has raised concerns among industry operators about the agency's competence.GlobeNewswireBelCosta Labs and U.S. Cannalytics Merge in Key East Coast Cannabis MarketsBelCosta Labs announced a merger with US Cannalytics and Pinnacle CT Labs to expand beyond California, combining their East Coast operations. The combined group will rebrand as BelCosta Labs, merging over ten years of cannabis testing expertise from five state markets. The new lab group aims to lead the cannabis testing industry with best-in-class methodologies.PR NewswireSmall Change and Big Impact Made by a Challenger of Established Industry's Quality StandardsTranspring, a cannabis ancillary industry company, announced it will upgrade all core components of its CannaMate™ product from non-leaded brass or 304 stainless steel to medical-grade AISI 316L stainless steel within the next few months. The upgraded products successfully passed California's 6-month Phase III (CAT3) heavy metals testing overseen by BelCosta Labs in an industry first, significantly exceeding regulatory standards. The company, founded in 2004 and headquartered in Shenzhen, positions this upgrade as maintaining the highest industry quality standards and reinforcing consumer safety.PR NewswireTranspring Products Successfully Pass 6-Month BelCosta Labs California Phase III Heavy Metals Testing in an Industry FirstTranspring, a Shenzhen-based plant extract vape manufacturer, has become the first vape producer to complete a six-month heavy metals testing program overseen by BelCosta Labs, passing 180 consecutive days of analysis under California Bureau of Cannabis Control standards. The testing confirmed Transpring's vape cartridges contain trace levels of lead, cadmium, arsenic, and mercury below state-mandated thresholds. The company, which entered the US market in 2015, is highlighting this achievement as evidence of its commitment to product quality and consumer safety, alongside its proprietary A10 and newly launched A18 ceramic cartridge products.PR NewswireCCELL Passes California Phase 3 Tests and Obtains Certificates of Analysis from Belcosta LabsCCELL, a vaping technology innovator and vaporizer cartridge manufacturer, obtained Certificates of Analysis (COAs) from Belcosta Labs in July 2019, confirming compliance with California's stringent Phase 3 regulations under Title 16 section 5715. The testing demonstrated that CCELL's cartridges, pods, and disposable products meet regulatory requirements when used with various extracted oil products. CCELL engaged a California state-certified testing laboratory to conduct rigorous assessments as part of its commitment to product safety and regulatory compliance.
