Court Proceedings and Jeeter’s Defense

However, the plaintiffs have 20 days to amend their complaint. Christin Cho’s LinkedIn post reveals that the defendants moved to dismiss the case. They argued that they couldn’t be held liable as the THC representations came from third parties. The court rejected this argument, stating that the defendants have an independent duty to ensure their product statements are accurate and not misleading.
