As Canada’s legal retail cannabis market kicked off today, a wealth of cannabis products became available to the public. From flower to oil, to creams, and lotions, the nation’s outlets were stocked with plenty of cannabinoid-rich items for the day’s customers.
Recreational retailers rang in the first transactions of a new era as they opened their doors for business and online retailers like the Ontario Cannabis Store (OCS) put their items up for purchase.
But earlier today, the description in the OCS listing for Hydropothecary’s (Hexo) Fleur de Lune Intimate Spray didn’t quite match up to the product.
The description for the 8 mg/ml spray, which is marketed to women and intended to help relieve pain and inflammation in the genital area, said that it was to be applied sublingually, meaning under the tongue.
“We always knew there was going to be bumps along the road, no country has done this to this extent,” said Hexo’s vice president of corporate social responsibility, Terry Lake. “It’s a product like many that are used today for intimate areas of the body, but it should be labeled as such…obviously there’s a mistake that needs to be corrected, so we certainly will be following up with them to ensure that the right information is being given to consumers.”
OCS appears to have corrected the mistake as of Wednesday evening.
