Assured — which denies it allowed contaminated products to reach consumers — appealed the decision with the Cannabis Control Commission and filed a complaint Monday in Suffolk County Superior Court. The company claimed the Cannabis Control Commission overstepped its authorityand violated Assured’s due process rights by issuing the order without a hearing.

“There is a fundamental principle in this state and in this country that before you lose everything at the hands of the government, you have a right to appear in some forum to defend yourself,” Assured chief executive and founder Dimitrios Pelekoudas said in a statement.

A commission spokesperson said the commission does not comment on legal matters.

The company also requested an injunction to suspend the Cannabis Control Commission’s order and allow Assured to operate while the dispute proceeds, according to court filings. Although the company believes the order is unlawful, it complied, Pelekoudas said, halting operations and furloughing most employees.

Pelekoudas said in a statement that the company has always complied with regulations, posed no public health threat, and never allowed contaminated products to reach the market.

“This is a simple disagreement about how data was being reported,” he said. “In fact, the CCC’s regulations were so unclear on this specific testing issue, that it reissued regulations that became effective as of April 1 of this year.”
