Attorneys working with ClassAction.org are investigating whether lawsuits can be filed on behalf of people who purchased certain CBD products.
Recent testing has shown that some products don't contain as much CBD as their labels say, meaning consumers may have paid more than they should have.
To help with their investigation, the attorneys are looking to hear from people who purchased any of the following products:
- Garden of Life Softgels
- Charlotte’s Web Hemp Oil Extract
- Barlean’s CBD Oil
- Curaleaf Tincture

What Started This Investigation?
Several lawsuits have been filed alleging that certain CBD products contain only a fraction of the amount of CBD being advertised on the label. In fact, in one suit against Just Brands USA, the plaintiff claims some of the company’s CBD products contain no CBD at all.
Attorneys working with ClassAction.org found that the practice of overstating the amount of CBD in supplements, creams and oils is not uncommon – and may not be limited to one manufacturer. Even the FDA has said that its own tests found that some products did not contain the amount of CBD they claimed to contain.
How Can a Class Action Lawsuit Help?
CBD products are not cheap – and a class action lawsuit could help consumers get back any money they spent on a falsely advertised product. A successful case could also force CBD companies to make changes to their manufacturing processes to help ensure people are getting what they pay for.
