On July 8, 2019, the Company revealed that thousands of kilograms of its cannabis have been placed on hold after Canadian regulators found the Company grew cannabis in unlicensed rooms and gave those regulators “inaccurate information.” CannTrust disclosed the Canadian regulators’ action will result in “temporary product shortages” to medical customers and that regulators’ testing of the Company’s product remain ongoing with the potential for findings of additional regulatory violations. In a prepared statement to investors, CannTrust CEO Peter Aceto admitted, “We made errors in judgment”.
On this news, the Company’s share price plummeted 22% on July 8, 2019, thereby injuring CannTrust shareholders.
“We’re focused on investors’ losses and whether the Company misrepresented and concealed its compliance with applicable laws and regulations,” said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.
