The Missouri Division of Cannabis Regulation (DCR), in cooperation with NGWMO, LLC issued a marijuana product recall today for marijuana products sold to dispensary facilities by comprehensive cultivation licensee, NGWMO, LLC, CUL000069. Pursuant to 19 CSR 100-1.100(4)(P), DCR may issue a public notice of recall where marijuana product presents a potential threat to health and safety. No adverse reactions for this product have been reported to DCR at this time.
The recalled marijuana products were not compliantly tested prior to being sold to patients and consumers. The recalled marijuana products were tested at the unprocessed bud/flower stage, rather than being tested at the final marijuana product stage as required by 19 CSR 100-1. The list of recalled products is located at Cannabis.Mo.Gov.
Patients and consumers who have purchased the recalled product should stop using it. All unused product(s) should be discarded or returned to the dispensary facility where purchased. Returned products will not count toward a patient's purchase limit. For more information on returns, please contact the dispensary facility where the product was purchased.
Anyone who thinks that they may be experiencing adverse reactions should seek immediate medical attention. Patients and consumers are reminded that any adverse reactions should be reported by emailing [email protected] or filling out a complaint form located here.
General Consumer Safety & Education
While the adult-use cannabis program was built based on guidelines approved by Missouri voters, DHSS, as the state's public health authority, asks consumers to consume cannabis with caution. Adult consumers are encouraged to review the health effects of cannabis prior to consuming. Some important points of caution include the following:
Children, adults and pets can mistake marijuana products, particularly edibles, for regular food or candy. Consuming marijuana can make children very sick. They may have problems walking or sitting up or may have a hard time breathing. If you have concerns of possible poisoning, call the Missouri Poison Center at 800-222-1222, or 911 if it is an emergency.
