TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Feb. 9, 2015) -
NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR THROUGH UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES
Peace Naturals Project Inc. ("Peace Naturals") is voluntarily recalling two lots of product shipped under the Marijuana for Medical Purposes Regulation ("MMPR").
During the course of a regular inspection at Peace Naturals, conducted under the MMPR, Health Canada inspectors determined this product was labelled with delta-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) of 9.07% with a product specification of +/- 2% of THC. However, when retested from a third party laboratory, the product demonstrated that the content of THC may be as high as 13.7%.
While exposure to high levels of THC may be associated with increased risks of experiencing certain adverse effects, the level of THC in this product does not appear to have been high enough to trigger an increased risk to the health and safety of clients. Peace Naturals has not received reports of any adverse events or complaints associated with the use of this product, nor has Health Canada received any reports of adverse reactions. Therefore, the impact of this mislabelling represents a low risk to the health and safety of clients.
PharmaCan Capital Corp. ("PharmaCan") has a 27.3% ownership interest in Peace Naturals.
