AURORA CANNABIS CHS CLASS ACTION CERTIFIED
TORONTO, June 9, 2025 /CNW/ - Thousands of Canadian cannabis users are hospitalized and diagnosed with Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome ("CHS") every year. CHS is a dangerous side effect that can develop from the regular use of cannabis products. CHS involves cyclical bouts of severe nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain, which can persist for days and can occur as often as once every five minutes. In extreme cases, CHS can result in organ failure and even death. On May 14, 2025, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice certified a national class action which alleges that Aurora Cannabis Inc, and Aurora Cannabis Enterprises Inc. negligently failed to warn consumers of the risk of developing CHS posed by the regular use of their cannabis products. This means that the action can now proceed as a class action. No findings of liability have been made against the defendants. The action was commenced by V.T., a Canadian Forces veteran who was prescribed cannabis to treat medical conditions. V.T. purchased medicinal cannabis from the Defendants, and used it as prescribed, until they suffered two extreme bouts of nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain that were so severe V.T. had to be hospitalized. On the second E.R. visit, V.T. was diagnosed as suffering from CHS. The only certain cure for CHS is to stop consuming cannabis, which V.T. did, and is now symptom-free. None of the cannabis products that V.T. consumed contained any warning about CHS, nor is there any warning in the product monograph, or on Aurora's website. The claim alleges that the Defendants knew, or should have known, of the risk of CHS arising from the regular use of their cannabis products, but negligently failed to provide any warning to consumers or prescribing physicians about the risk that they could develop CHS. The class action seeks to recover damages for the Class Members who developed CHS. The class action is brought on behalf of all persons in Canada who purchased a Cannabis Product from Aurora Cannabis Inc. or Aurora Cannabis Enterprises Inc. (which includes MedReleaf) on or after February 1, 2014 to May 14, 2025 (the "Class Period") who were diagnosed or differentially diagnosed with CHS during the Class Period after consuming one or more Cannabis Products. Cannabis Products are the cannabis and/or synthetic cannabinoid resins, pills, lozenges, concentrates, oils, edibles, beverages, vapours, and raw and adulterated plant material cultivated, designed, manufactured, packaged, labeled, distributed, marketed, and/or sold by the Defendants. The allegations contained in the Fresh as Amended Statement of Claim have not been proven in court, and the Defendants deny the Plaintiff's claims. More information about the class proceeding, including the Plaintiff's Fresh as Amended Statement of Claim, is available on Class Counsel's website: For further information, or if you have been diagnosed with CHS, please contact Class Counsel: Sotos Class Actions 55 University Avenue, Suite 600Toronto, ON M5J 2H7auroracannabisclassaction@ (toll free) For media inquiries, please contact Margaret Waddell by phone at 416.977.2413 or by email at mwaddell@ SOURCE Sotos Class Actions View original content: Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data

Fresno hospital system quietly cuts hundreds of nursing supervisor roles
In the Spotlight is a Fresno Bee series that digs into the high-profile local issues that readers care most about. Story idea? Email tips@ Fresno's largest healthcare system discreetly slashed hundreds of nursing supervisor positions in recent weeks as part of a staffing shakeup. Nearly 300 clinical nursing supervisors employed by Community Health System were informed that they had to decide whether to take a pay cut, apply for a leadership position or accept a severance package. A March 4 letter obtained by The Bee confirms CHS notified Fresno city and county officials about plans to eliminate 285 positions due to the hospital system 'restructuring its operations.' The letter said the layoffs impacted 180 positions at Community Regional Medical Center, as well as 19 positions at Fresno Heart & Surgical Hospital and 86 positions at Clovis Community Medical Center. The layoffs at CHS took effect May 3, weeks before news broke that the health system agreed to settle a federal probe and pay a $31.5 million fine, raising questions for some staff members. Last month, CHS entered a massive settlement agreement announced last month by the U.S. Attorney's Office. The settlement addresses allegations that CHS was involved in a multi-year kickback scheme in which hospital executives provided expensive wine, liquor, cigars and meals to physicians in exchange for patient referrals. CHS denies the settlement was the reason for the staffing changes. 'Community frequently evaluates our care model to assure that we have the right staffing mix to meet changing patient care needs,' Daniel Davis, R.N. division president of hospitals for CHS, said in a statement. 'This shift was driven solely by clinical best practice and patient care needs and was not designed to achieve cost savings,' Davis said. Any company with 75 or more employees must file a WARN notice if it lays off 50 or more employees in a 30-day period, according to state law. Hospital spokesperson Mary Lisa Russell said a WARN notice was sent out in early March, as required by law. However, a spokesperson for the state's Employment Development Department said they had no record of a WARN notice from CHS. Two nurse supervisors said the 285 impacted employees were forced to apply to new leadership positions, or take a demotion, with the majority taking big pay cuts. 'We were told that these changes had nothing to do with finances. That is incredibly hard to believe,' said one former nursing supervisor who spoke on condition of anonymity due to fear of professional retaliation. The nursing supervisor said rumors started circulating in February about the elimination of clinical nursing supervisor roles. She said affected staff met individually with human resources to explore their options — either applying for assistant nurse manager, charge nurse or clinical nurse ladder positions, or accept a severance package. CHS also offered two-year retention bonuses. Most positions offered lower pay than the eliminated supervisor role. Another nursing supervisor who had worked at Community for more than a decade — who said she loved her job and had no discipline record — accepted a severance package after her position was eliminated. The supervisor said she thinks the restructuring was a cost-saving measure. She said employees and patient care were sacrificed to pay for leadership's actions. Clinical supervising nurses who accepted other nursing positions have to be retrained on charting and other bedside nurse responsibilities, she said. 'I loved working here, I love my team,' she said. Davis said CHS developed a new job description for assistant nurse manager, which is a model of clinical leadership and staffing followed by other local hospitals like Kaiser, Kaweah Health and Sutter Health. 'Based on those needs and industry best practice to support nursing at the bedside, we transitioned away from Clinical Nursing Supervisors and toward a combined Assistant Nurse Manager and Charge Nurse model,' Davis said. Davis said that 247 of the 285 affected nurses transitioned to new roles. 'Only a small percentage chose to separate,' he said. He also said in the coming months, 'nearly 95% of our workforce will see compensation increases as we continue to implement an organization-wide set of adjustments to align with California's new healthcare minimum wage.' A new state law signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2023 requires an increase in the minimum wage for workers at several eligible healthcare facilities.
