Here is a statement from Broken Coast (formerly Greenleaf) explaining the details of the name change and Purple Kush recall:

Broken Coast Cannabis, of Nanaimo BC reached out to Lift this week to shed some light on their recent recall and name change. After being de-listed from Health Canada’s list of approved LP’s, and some speculation about the reasons for the recall of their Purple Kush, Broken Coast wanted to reach out to the MMPR community to tell their side of the story so far:
We are Broken Coast cannabis, formerly Greenleaf Medicinals. Unfortunately, we experienced a bit of a perfect storm of problems all at the same time; a facility inspection identified a number of deficiencies which needed to be addressed, our first batch of cannabis was recalled, and a copyright infringement lawsuit regarding the name of our company forced us to take our website offline and cease use of our former name.
Currently, our company is not on the list of licensed producers because we are in the process of changing the name associated with our license. As soon as the paperwork is complete our website will be back on the list. We are still licensed to operate, and to produce cannabis under the MMPR.
There was a lot of speculation regarding the recall of our Purple Kush, and we’d like to shed some light on the details for you and your readers. Our recall resulted from a lack of proper production records from the beginning of the life cycle of the cannabis plants. Without these early records, it was determined by the regulatory agency that we could not properly ensure that the product was grown under sanitary conditions, or that no pesticides had been used.
All of our products undergo extensive testing, and product that fails to pass in any category is not released for sale. The batch in question was tested for over 900 compounds found in pesticides and it tested negative for all of them. It also passed the testing for mold, bacteria, and other contaminants with flying colours.
We received no complaints or reports of adverse reaction from any of our customers, and we provided a full refund for the product that was returned to us during the recall. We are also working with another licensed producer to provide our patients with product while we address the deficiencies in our facility. We expect to have our own product available again in 4-6 months under our new name, Broken Coast Cannabis.
