The New York State Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) has issued another recall affecting cannabis consumers statewide—this time involving products from East End Flower Farm LTD.
The recall, announced Monday, applies to three lots of adult-use cannabis products distributed to licensed dispensaries across New York. While no adverse health effects have been reported, the OCM is urging consumers to report any issues through its online incident reporting form at cannabis.ny.gov/report-an-incident.
According to the OCM, the products were initially quarantined after concerns surfaced about testing conducted by Lexachrom Analytical Laboratory. The lab, which has since lost its authorization to test cannabis products in New York, was found to have conducted unreliable testing.
East End Flower Farm retested one of the three affected product lots, and it failed for pesticide levels exceeding the state’s allowable limits. The remaining two lots were not retested, prompting the OCM to recall all three as a precaution.
This marks the latest in a series of product recalls as New York’s cannabis oversight agency continues to tighten its scrutiny of the adult-use marijuana market. Late last month, the State Office of Cannabis Management expanded a product recall involving cannabis items made by IndoGro LLC. The recall, which began June 11, now includes 28 additional product lots.
State regulators say the recall is a precaution. So far, no health issues have been reported, but testing revealed some products contained illegal pesticide levels. Others were made with material from an unlicensed out-of-state supplier, violating state cannabis laws and raising public health concerns.
A full list of recalled products and affected lot numbers is available at cannabis.ny.gov/recalls.
Consumers in possession of recalled products are advised to return them to the dispensary where they were purchased.
