New York Issues Cannabis Recall Over Pesticide Concerns

The New York Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) announced product recalls
for multiple adult-use cannabis products manufactured by IndoGrow LLC.

Officials ordered the recall after testing revealed traces of prohibited
and potentially dangerous pesticides in nine products by IndoGrow — some
marketed as Indi, Grow by Indi, Our Creation, or Grow with Us products —
which were all produced under the license number OCM-MICR-00009.

The recalls affect the following products and associated batch numbers:

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

Officials ordered New York retailers to stop distributing the affected
products immediately, and said consumers who have purchased the products
and wish to return them should contact the location where they purchased
them. OCM said the recall was a precautionary measure and that there have
been no reports of adverse effects caused by the recalled products.

Last year, OCM officials issued a stop-production order for
caffeine-infused, 1906-brand cannabis pills manufactured by Hudson Cannabis.

This year’s OCM annual market report found that the state is home to more
than 500 cannabis brands and over 260 operational dispensaries.
