A Denver-based marijuana company has recalled 27 cartridges of its THC-infused vape pen oil due to potentially dangerous pesticides.
Denver’s Department of Environmental Health found that Advanced Medical Alternatives’ product contained pesticides that are not allowed to be used on cannabis in Colorado, reported The Cannabist, The Denver Post’s cannabis news and culture section.
The recall is the 13th issued by the department in 13 weeks. Advanced Medical Alternatives recalled a cannabis concentrate product that also had high levels of banned pesticides on Dec. 3.
“Advanced Medical Alternatives, LLC is committed to excellence in providing safe and the highest quality products to its customers,” the company said in a statement on its website. “Accordingly, the company has voluntarily recalled certain products that may contain potentially unsafe pesticide residues.”
According to The Cannabist, two other Colorado marijuana companies have had multiple recalls recently: EdiPure and Gaia’s Garden, both edibles makers.
