LINCOLN- Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers announced Wednesday that his office had settled with several owners targeted in 11 lawsuits filed against vape shops selling legally murky variants of the THC-containing substance Delta-8. Ever since the 2018 federal farm bill opened the door to the sale of Delta-8 in Nebraska, Hilgers said he sought to close the legal loopholes surrounding the product.

"I am proud to announce these settlements," he said, "which represent important steps towards getting these untested, mislabeled, and dangerous THC products off the shelves in Nebraska." In a release, Hilgers called on the other retailers sued by the Attorney General's Office to negotiate settlements with the state.

"Time is running short to settle on favorable terms with our office," Hilgers wrote, "The door will soon close on obtaining settlements that waive penalties, and for those who do not settle, we will seek relief to the fullest extent of the law." Each of the lawsuits argue that the products sold in these stores were deceptively advertised and possibly contaminated.
