Siegel Siegel & Wright Strategic Legal Counsel
Incense Testing
Some recent lab reports from our clients suggest improper and/or inaccurate testing methods are used by some labs and the presence of masking agents by some chemical manufacturers.
Our firm has developed a strategy of testing and compliance methods to give both manufacturers and retailers the utmost assurance that they remain in full compliance with state and federal laws.
Our goal is to give our customers piece of mind, not only that testing reports indicate the absence of illegal chemicals but that their products are, in fact, legal to sell.
Legal Compliance
Herbal incense manufacture and sales require the highest level of testing and compliance to avoid improper prosecution for drug trafficking by state or federal authorities. There is no assurance which type of testing will be used should a product be seized by the authorities, so it is important to use the most comprehensive legal strategies and the most accurate and reliable testing methods available to ensure that our clients remain in compliance with both state and federal law.
Chemical Lab Reports
In order to help eliminate the “mens rea” (knowledge) aspect of a drug trafficking charge, it is imperative that testing be performed by a reputable lab using the proper testing methods for banned chemicals. Our records indicate that the same product sent to different labs can have different results which suggests that certain methods of testing are more accurate then others.
We believe that some chemical manufacturers are using masking agents to hide illegal ingredients pass certain tests. We utilize only labs the most accurate testing methods and the latest equipment. Based on your needs we will develop the most accurate test available for your particular product.
