Organa Labs Recalls Marijuana Products Due to Pesticide Residues



Jan. 27, 2016 A Denver marijuana-infused manufacturing business, Allied Concessions doing business as Organa Labs, is voluntarily recalling O.Pen Vape marijuana products due to the potential presence of unsafe pesticide residues. The recall affects an undetermined amount of individual units of marijuana concentrates that are used for vaporizing.



Samples of marijuana infused products contained residual levels of Imidacloprid, Myclobutanil, Etoxazole, and/or Avermectin, pesticides the Colorado Department of Agriculture has determined cannot be used legally on marijuana in Colorado.



The Organa Labs products subject to the recall were distributed throughout Colorado and bear the following label information: Strain Name: Batch # ending in: Cultivated by: Bay Dream 110615-10 403-00272, 403-00063 Crack Dawg 110615-01 403-00134, 403-00047 Hybrid East Coast Alien 090815-57 403R-01200 Hindu Kush 101415-02 403R-00300 Grape Lui 112415-19 403R-00152 Reserve Hybrid 090215-16 403-00372 Cherry Durban Poison 112415-18 403R-00152 Cherry Durban 112415-13 403R-00288 Grandaddy Purps 121015-14 403R-00525 CBD 1:1 121415-52 403R-00078 Organa Labs is voluntarily recalling additional marijuana-infused products that were derived from potentially contaminated plant material purchased from Western Remedies (403R-00005), Rocky Mountain Farmacy (403R-00011), and 5110 Race (403R-00318), three cultivation facilities in Denver doing business as Strainwise.



Samples of marijuana infused products at three other Denver marijuana-infused product manufacturing businesses that were created from plant material harvested from the same cultivation facilities during the same timeframe had residual levels of Imidacloprid, Myclobutanil, Spiromefesin, and/or Avermectin, pesticides the Colorado Department of Agriculture has determined cannot be used legally on marijuana in Colorado.
