The Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission (OLCC) has issued a recall for four cannabis vape products.
The OLCC says the recall stems from a random audit of the state’s Cannabis Tracking System.
The recall encompasses four vaping products produced by licensed processor Plank Road Laboratories (PRL) under the Firefly Extracts brand name.
According to the OLCC, the products went to licensed adult-use cannabis and non-licensed general market retailers.
The OLCC says the products do not meet Oregon’s cannabis additive standards and should not be for sale.
Among the prohibited compounds in the vapes were cannabinol (CBN) and cannabichromene (CBC).
The Oregon Board of Pharmacy considers non-cannabis-derived CBC a Schedule 1 substance.
“Under Oregon law, inhalable products like vape cartridges cannot contain artificially derived cannabinoids,” states an OLCC press release. “Additionally, the synthetic CBC does not comply with OLCC requirements for non-cannabis additives in inhalable products and is also prohibited under Oregon law.”
The OLCC says PRL distributed the vape cartridges to 80 licensed retailers, 30 of which still have approximately 200 units.
An additional 300 units went to six general market retailers, four of which have OLCC alcohol licenses.
PRL has cooperated with the OLCC to contact retailers about the recall and locate the affected products.
OLCC inspectors are also making in-person visits to general market retailers as they may be unaware of the recall process.
The OLCC says consumers who purchased the recalled products should destroy them, though there have been no health complaints from their use.
