All marijuana and marijuana products properly sold by a licensed store or dispensary should have a product label on the
packaging. The batch and lot number can be found on the label, typically near the top, directly below the facility
information.

There are no known reports of illness. Health impacts from yeast and mold, bile-tolerant gram-negative bacteria,
coliforms and Aspergillus may exist. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention does have general information on
how these contaminants can affect people. https://www.cdc.gov/mold/faqs.htm#affect. Consumers with concerns
about their personal health should contact their physician with related questions.

There is no reason to believe that the dispensaries or cultivators had any knowledge that the products exceeded
allowable limits. CANNEX Nevada LLC, an independent marijuana testing facility, provided passing test results to the
cultivators for all above-mentioned products.
