Updates (Related to the Class Action / Mass Tort)
– August 2021: We write to provide you with a further update to our June 9th update. As mentioned in our last update, we are currently exploring whether there is any possibility of a settlement. We will provide a further update once we have received a response from opposing counsel, who has indicated she will be in touch with her client in the next few weeks.
– Oct. 2021: Further to our update provided in August, please be advised that we have recently been informed that NHS has filed for bankruptcy. As you may be aware, Sunniva had previously filed for bankruptcy. Unfortunately, this means there is no longer any avenue forward for our class action. This is obviously not the outcome we were hoping for. We will keep you updated on how we are wrapping up this file.
