The Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission (OLCC) yesterday expanded a recall initially announced in mid-January. OLCC investigators discovered three additional production batches of cannabis vape cartridges that contain prohibited additives.
The expanded recall includes vape cartridges that have been sold under the brand name Firefly Extracts or Smoke-Rite Wellness and were manufactured by Hillsboro-based Plank Road Laboratories, an OLCC licensed marijuana processor.
The three new production batches added to the recall were made into 10 product lines. About 7,000 units have been sold from these batches and about 500 units were still in the market.
Production records indicate that the recalled items contain CBN, an artificially derived cannabinoid and CBC, a synthetic cannabinoid. According to the OLCC, the products don't conform to state standards regarding cannabis additives and therefore should not be sold.
Under Oregon law, inhalable products like vape cartridges cannot contain artificially derived cannabinoids. Additionally, the synthetic CBC does not comply with OLCC requirements for non-cannabis additives in inhalable products, and is also prohibited under Oregon law.
Customers who bought the products are encouraged to destroy them. The OLCC has not received any health-related complaints from the use of the recalled products.
