After Morgan McCoy’s 6-year-old daughter spent a scary night in the hospital, McCoy is urging for changes in how marijuana products are packaged.
In late May, Morgan McCoy’s found her 6-year-old daughter lethargic and unresponsive. She later learned her daughter had accidentally ate a marijuana gummy that she thought was candy. After a scary night in the hospital, she’s recovered. But McCoy is sharing their story to encourage safer packaging of marijuana edibles and to urge parents to properly store it.
Some of the children, including McCoy’s daughter, took a nap. When McCoy returned, she wasn’t surprised her daughter was sleeping after a day in the pool. But then McCoy couldn’t wake her. By then a friend realized her edible was missing and called to let the family know. According to a photo of the package McCoy shared of the Faded Fruits product, the gummy her daughter ate had 50 mg of THC. TODAY tried to contact the company for a statement but could not find any contact information for it.
