They had just locally made the components in the bath salts and fake pot products illegal and the products had been dropped form the convenience store shelves. For whatever reason, they had some change in the formula or whatever, they decided to reissue the products after having them tested for all of the controlled substances. The local media investigative reporters who had done articles on these products found out and did a follow up series. That caught the eye of the law enforcement who in turn checked with the DEA and got them involved. None of the providers had the proper registration, so the laboratory registration could not have been used on the reports to them regarding controlled substances. The lab had tons of records removed by the DEA, which may in effect shut them down for good.
The list of products and companies I found doing the testing with them was eye-opening. Either there is a lot of products with illegal additives, there was a lot of products with the illegal additives in the past, this is the most paranoid industry ever, or a combination of possiblities.
The scary part is looking at some of the reports showed some of the tests seemed to be tailored to report only certain substances being non-detected and not the list of possible additives. Tailored lists are generally generated by a regulatory requirement or an attempt to slip by in my experience.Statistics: Posted by Wayne Stollings — Wed May 02, 2012 9:33 am
