New York State recalls cannabis products due to pesticide risks

The New York State Office of Cannabis Management has announced a recall of certain cannabis products sold at licensed adult-use dispensaries across the state. This action follows the discovery that nine lots of products from IndoGrow LLC contained unapproved pesticide residues, which could pose health risks to consumers.

Initially, the affected products were quarantined due to questionable testing results from a previously authorized laboratory. After a re-evaluation, it was confirmed that these nine lots failed testing standards due to pesticide contamination. The specific products recalled include:

– The Force Pre-Roll – Lot # SWDV01 – Blue Coffee Flower – Lot # IC099-001-BC – Blue Coffee Pre-Roll – Lot # IC099-BC1-PR – Sour Runtz Flower – Lot # IC099-001-SR – Sour Runtz Pre-Roll – Lot # IC099-SR1-PR – Cosmic Burst Flower – Lot # PPPG01 – Oreoz Flower – Lot # IC099-001-OR – Oreoz Pre-Roll – Lot # IC099-OR1-PR – Secret Formula Flower – Lot # IC099-001-SF

These products may also be labeled under names such as Indi, Grow by Indi, Our Creation, and Grow with Us. Distributors and dispensaries are instructed to halt sales and distribution of these items immediately.

The recall is a preventive measure, and as of now, there have been no reported adverse health effects from consumers using these products. The Office of Cannabis Management is still investigating the situation.

Consumers who have purchased any of the recalled products are encouraged to return them to the dispensary where they were bought, even if the packaging has been opened. The Office advises anyone experiencing health issues related to these products to seek medical attention and report their experiences by filling out an incident form. For serious symptoms, individuals should contact their healthcare provider or call the Poison Center at 1(800) 222-1222 for immediate assistance.
