Recalls Can Happen... The Quality of Testing Can Make the Difference

In recent months, the number of cannabis product recalls have dramatically increased throughout the US:

• On December 3rd, 2021, batches of one manufacturer’s medical and adult-use cannabis were recalled in Colorado due to products being untested or improperly tested for contaminants and potency outside of acceptable limits.
• On November 17th, 2021, the largest cannabis product recall in Michigan was issued after its state regulator deemed the results of the products tested by a third-party lab “inaccurate and/or unreliable”. The recall has triggered litigation and a subsequent injunction.
