Multi-State Cannabis Recalls Over Pesticide Contamination

State regulators in New York and Colorado have announced recalls of multiple cannabis products after unallowable pesticide levels were detected, raising concerns about testing reliability and consumer safety. In New York, the Office of Cannabis Management recalled nine adult-use cannabis products from IndoGrow LLC following retesting that revealed pesticide contamination, and sales of the affected products have been halted statewide. Consumers are advised to return any affected products for a refund, and no adverse health effects have been reported so far. In Colorado, the Marijuana Enforcement Division and producer Dadirri (Verv LLC) issued a voluntary recall for pre-rolls and flower contaminated with the pesticide chlorfenapyr, affecting around forty dispensaries. Both recalls stem from issues with initial lab testing, as products that initially passed later failed more rigorous tests. Regulators in both states urge consumers to return or destroy contaminated products and seek medical attention if needed.
