Supreme Court to Review Trucker's RICO Suit Over Misleading CBD Product

The case centers on a truck driver who lost his job after a CBD product falsely advertised as THC-free led to a failed drug test.

Douglas Horn, a truck driver, was fired after failing a drug test which he attributes to using a CBD product advertised as not containing THC.
The Supreme Court will decide whether Horn can sue the product's manufacturer, Medical Marijuana, Inc., under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO).
Lower courts have been divided on whether Horn's claim qualifies as a business injury under RICO, which traditionally targets organized crime.
If successful, Horn could receive triple the damages for the alleged fraud that led to his job loss.
The outcome of this case could set a precedent for how civil RICO suits are applied in cases involving product liability and false advertising.
