A recall has been issued  for three cannabis products sold at dispensaries throughout the state of New York, according to the New York State Office of Cannabis Management.

The Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) is recalling three lots of adult-use cannabis products from East End Flower Farm LTD due to unreliable testing and pesticide levels exceeding allowable limits.

Officials said that products from East End Flower Farm were not properly tested for pesticides.

OCM officials stated that the three products were tested by Lexachrom Analytical Laboratory, a laboratory no longer allowed to test cannabis products.

East End Flower Farm retested one of the three impacted products, and it failed due to pesticides over the limit allowed by the OCM.

The other two lots subject to this recall were not retested, but the Office is issuing a recall for all three lots as a "precautionary measure", saying: "The Office has not received any reports of adverse effects caused by the consumption of these products. Investigation into this matter is ongoing."

Here are the recalled products

  • Secret #9 Flower- 3.5 gram container, EE-89-8-001
  • Lemon Haze Flower- 3.5 gram container, EE-LH-8-001
  • Pure Michigan Flower- 3.5 gram container, EE-PM-8-001


At the time of the recall, no adverse effects had been reported.

Customers who purchased any of the recalled products, including those sold under the "Harvest" brand, should discontinue use immediately, contact the dispensary where the product was bought, and return it.
