(This story has been updated to include a link to the sales locations affected by the recall and to clarify the types of inhalable concentrates not affected by the recall.)
Michigan regulators issued a recall for cannabis products tested by Viridis Laboratories, calling the results inaccurate or unreliable.
The Marijuana Regulatory Agency on Tuesday issued the health and safety advisory bulletin for all cannabis products tested by Viridis Laboratories’ Bay City or Lansing locations, except for the following types of inhalable marijuana concentrates:
- Vape carts.
- Live resin.
- Distillate.
- Any other MJ concentrates created with a solvent extraction process.
The products in question were tested between Aug. 10, 2021, and Nov. 16, 2021.
The investigation is ongoing, but Viridis said in a statement that it has “been cleared to continue testing at both of our state-of-the-art facilities.”
