New York Recalls 28 Cannabis Products With Materials Sourced From Out of State

New York cannabis regulators expanded a recall on June 27 that involves more than two dozen adult-use flower and pre-roll products they say were produced using material sourced from outside the licensed market.

The state’s Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) issued the latest recall for 28 products manufactured by IndoGro LLC. The latest recall stems from an initial recall on June 11, when the office determined nine of the company’s products had failed laboratory testing due to the presence of noncompliant pesticides.

The initial nine products had originally been placed under quarantine due to a lack of validity in testing by a laboratory that’s no longer licensed. After the products were retested, the OCM determined they posed a potential risk to public health and safety, ordering a cease in distribution and sales.

That sparked additional investigation, which led to the OCM’s latest recall of the 28 products it determined represent a “serious violation” of the state’s cannabis law.

“The licensee … violated the law by using cannabis from an unlicensed, out-of-state source to produce and sell products in New York,” according to the OCM’s June 28 recall notice. “As such, these products are considered adulterated and pose a potential risk to consumer health and safety.”

While the recalled products contain pesticides prohibited under New York law, according to the OCM, state regulators issued the recall as a “precautionary” measure. The office has not received any consumer reports of adverse effects, according to the OCM.

Cannabis consumers can return the recalled products—even if packages are open—to the dispensary they purchased them at. Consumers can also fill out an incident report online.
