Minnesota's Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) is alerting consumers to avoid consuming Beezwax brand disposable 2.5-gram vapes and 1-gram hemp prerolls manufactured by Kooka LLC due to product mislabeling and THC content above the legal limit. These products are labeled as "low dose" and have the following label statement: “This product falls under the 2018 Farm Bill and contains <0.3% THC9.” Testing of the product indicated that they are not compliant.
All Beezwax brand 2.5-gram vapes and 1-gram hemp prerolls manufactured by Kooka LLC are affected by this advisory. Products were distributed in Minnesota to both cannabis retail stores and hemp retailers, including tobacco and hemp/CBD stores. These products may have also been sold directly to consumers over the internet. The product labels do not contain lot numbers or any other batch-specific information.
These products are not compliant and therefore pose a threat to the health of consumers. Consuming more THC than intended could lead to unexpected adverse health effects. Individuals with existing health conditions may experience a greater risk for adverse health effects.
The OCM issued a recall and instructed all businesses in the state to immediately stop sale of all affected products. Failure to comply with this order may result in additional enforcement that may include an administrative penalty of up to $10,000 per violation.
