IF YOU PURCHASED CERTAIN UNITS OF SELECT BRAND OIL PRODUCTS YOUR RIGHTS MAY BE AFFECTED BY A PROPOSED CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT.


If you live in Oregon and are over the age of 21, and you purchased cannabis/THC product from the Select Elite, Select Pax and/or Select Dabbables product lines, including cartridges, disposable pens, or pods (the “Product Lines”), during the period between August 15, 2018 and November 22, 2019 (the “Purchase Period”), in Oregon, with proof of residency or proof of purchase in Oregon (the “Purchase Location”), and where the packaging did not include the existence of botanically derived terpenes and/or medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) as an ingredient in the Product Lines (the “Product Packaging”)


What is this Lawsuit About?

A proposed settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against Cura Partners, Inc. The lawsuit claims that Cura failed to disclose that 186,000 mislabeled units of its products contained botanical terpenes. Cura stands by its products and denies it did anything wrong. The Court has not decided which side is right. Instead, the parties have decided to settle this case.
