Curaleaf purports to operate as an integrated medical and wellness cannabis operator in the United States. Curaleaf is incorporated in Canada and has headquarters in Massachusetts. Curaleaf operates within this judicial district.
The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, the defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, the defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (i) Curaleaf, on its website and social media pages, marketed its CBD products to be used as drugs and dietary supplements, contrary to law; (ii) Curaleaf also sold unapproved animal drugs on its website; (iii) such conduct would result in a warning letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"); and (iv) as a result, Defendants' statements about its business, operations, and prospects, were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
On July 22, 2019, the FDA sent a warning letter to Curaleaf regarding several CBD products sold at http://curaleafhemp.com (the "Warning Letter"). The Warning Letter noted that Curaleaf was selling unapproved new and misbranded drugs, improperly marketing its CBD products as dietary supplements, and selling unapproved new animal drugs in violation of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
On this news, shares of Curaleaf fell $0.58 per share, or 7.27%, to close at $7.40 per share on July 23, 2019, damaging investors.
