Independent laboratory testing commissioned by the Los Angeles Times found no pesticides in samples of Stiiizy's Birthday Cake, Pink Acai and Strawnana vapes, according to findings published November 8.
For its latest investigation, the Times purchased cannabis products from licensed dispensaries and commissioned three state-licensed laboratories to screen for a combined 376 pesticides. Product labels were obscured to prevent bias.
The findings indicate that all Stiiizy products tested meet California's new pesticide-testing requirements taking effect in April 2028, underscoring the company's progress since the newspaper's initial investigation in 2024.
"One in four vapes sold in California is a Stiiizy product, and we recognize the responsibility that comes with that reach," said Tak Sato, president of Stiiizy, in a statement. "We've invested in our product sourcing, quality control and testing practices to ensure we exceed state requirements. We're pleased that these results reflect our efforts to deliver products consumers can choose with confidence."
As Stiiizy continues to expand across California and beyond, quality and consistency remain central to its growth.
