Every Cannabis Recall in 2025–2026: A Running List

This is the running list. We update it as recalls are issued by state regulators and as additional product details become public. If a recall affects you, the batch information here may be incomplete — always check your specific state regulator's recall page for the complete batch numbers, dates, and affected store list.

The pattern of recalls in 2025 and 2026 is consistent enough to be its own indictment. Pesticides showing up in vapes. Aspergillus in flower. Heavy metals in concentrates. Lab fraud certifying contaminated product. The recalls are not isolated incidents. They are the predictable outcome of a regulated industry that has not yet built the testing infrastructure or enforcement capacity to actually deliver safe product.

Colorado

Colorado has issued among the most active recall calendars of any U.S. state in this period. The state's Marijuana Enforcement Division (MED) maintains a public recall database.

January 8, 2026. Rotation Farms (Rotation LLC), nineteen dispensaries affected. Four harvest batches recalled for chlorfenapyr exceeding regulatory limits. Five additional harvest batches recalled because they were grown around the same time. Initial testing had passed; subsequent testing revealed the contamination.

December 31, 2025 / January 2, 2026. Stash House CO (CC Brands LLC), 295 stores affected. Vaporizer cartridges and infused pre-rolled marijuana sold between February 27 and December 11, 2025. Pesticide contamination above regulatory limits. Stores affected included approximately 75 in Denver, 55 in Colorado Springs, 11 in Aurora, 9 in Fort Collins, 7 in Boulder, plus locations across Native Roots, The Green Solution, Star Buds, Green Dragon, and Igadi chains.

Multiple chlorfenapyr-related recalls throughout late 2025 and into 2026. The Colorado MED issued at least eight pesticide-related recalls in just over two months across the late 2025 / early 2026 period, with chlorfenapyr being the most common contaminant detected.

Maine

Maine's Office of Cannabis Policy (OCP) has been active in vape cartridge recalls throughout 2025.

Late 2025. NorCO Outdoor Cannabis vape cartridges. Strain Watermelon Chimera in 0.5g and 1g live resin formats, batch number 1A40D0300006145000011115. Sold July 10 – October 16, 2025 across Cannabis Cured locations in Carrabassett Valley, Damariscotta, Eliot, and other Maine retail. Recalled for unsafe levels of chlorfenapyr.

November 2025. Yani-produced vape cartridges, additional strains added to ongoing recall. Apples & Bananas, Cherry Tartufo, and Lemon Cherry Pie strains, sold March 10 – October 23, 2025 at adult-use cannabis stores statewide. Chlorfenapyr contamination.

The OCP has noted that the recalls are part of an ongoing investigation into contaminated cannabis products in the Maine market.

Arizona

February 2026. Arizona dispensaries voluntarily recalled marijuana products due to potential contamination with spinosad. Affected products included concentrates from PRESSD Brands and edibles from Baked Bros. The state noted that spinosad is generally safe for people and animals when not absorbed through inhalation, but symptoms could include stomach upset, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea if consumed in large amounts.

New York

February 2026. New York Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) issued a precautionary recall for products tested by Keystone State Testing New York. Following inspections and a records audit conducted between December 2025 and January 2026, the OCM determined that the laboratory had issued unreliable test results for several adult-use cannabis products. The audit identified 54 product lots where Aspergillus (a disease-causing mold) had been reported falsely as negative. One additional product lot had cadmium (a heavy metal) reported incorrectly. The full list of affected products and batch numbers is available on the OCM recall page.

California

California has had an active recall calendar throughout the period, though the state's recall infrastructure is less centralized than some other states. The California Department of Cannabis Control (DCC) maintains recall notices on its website.

Recalls have included multiple pesticide-related actions, microbial contamination recalls (including Aspergillus), and heavy metal detection recalls. The exact list is large enough that consumers should consult the DCC website directly for current recall status of specific products.

Other States

Florida. The Office of Medical Marijuana Use has issued recalls related to Medical Marijuana Treatment Center product issues, with detail available on the state's MMU site.

Washington. The Liquor and Cannabis Board has issued recalls for various product safety issues, with detail on the LCB recall page.

Massachusetts. The Cannabis Control Commission has issued multiple recalls covering pesticide contamination, microbial issues, and labeling violations.

Michigan. The Cannabis Regulatory Agency has issued recalls including a major action affecting multiple brands due to potency and pesticide testing concerns.

Pennsylvania. The Department of Health has issued medical cannabis recalls related to product safety.

Maryland, Connecticut, New Jersey, Illinois. All have issued recalls during this period. Each state's regulator maintains its own recall database.

What These Recalls Have in Common

Several patterns emerge from the consolidated recall picture.

Chlorfenapyr is the dominant contaminant of concern in 2025–2026. This pesticide is not approved for cannabis use anywhere in the U.S. but has appeared in recalls across multiple states, suggesting either widespread illicit use by cultivators or supply chain contamination from cultivation inputs.

Vape cartridges are disproportionately represented. Concentrate products concentrate everything in the source material. Vape cartridges have been the subject of more recall actions than flower products, even though flower represents the larger share of legal cannabis sales.

Initial testing often passes contaminated product. The Rotation Farms case illustrates the testing failure mode. Initial testing passed the affected batches; subsequent testing detected the contamination. The reasons can include lab integrity failures, sampling methodology issues, or contamination occurring after the initial testing date.

Recalls often follow consumer complaints or regulatory inspections rather than proactive testing. The system that's supposed to catch contamination before it reaches consumers is, in many cases, catching it only after consumers experience adverse effects or after regulators conduct inspections in response to complaints.

Recall notification reaches consumers inconsistently. State recall notices are typically published on regulator websites, but consumer notification through dispensaries, news media, or direct outreach is inconsistent. Many consumers who purchased recalled product never find out about the recall.

What to Do If You Have Recalled Product

If you discover that product you have purchased is subject to a recall:

Stop using the product immediately. Whatever the contamination, continued use carries risk that you don't need to take.

Document the product. Photograph the packaging, including batch numbers, dates, and any other identifying information. This documentation may be useful if you need to demonstrate purchase to the regulator or to the dispensary.

Return to the dispensary or dispose safely. Most state recalls direct consumers to return affected product to the dispensary where purchased for refund or replacement. Some dispensaries may have inconsistent enforcement of return policies; persist in your request.

Report any adverse symptoms. If you experienced any health effects from the recalled product — respiratory symptoms, gastrointestinal issues, neurological symptoms, anything unusual — report them to your healthcare provider, to the state regulator, and to your state poison control if symptoms are severe.

File a complaint with the state regulator. Consumer complaints feed into regulator investigation priorities and can affect future enforcement actions against the responsible brand or lab.

Consider legal options. If you experienced significant harm from a recalled product, you may have grounds for product liability claims. Several plaintiff attorneys specialize in cannabis-related personal injury litigation.

What This List Tells You About the Industry

The recall calendar, taken in aggregate, is an indictment of how the legal cannabis industry has been allowed to develop. Key takeaways:

The testing infrastructure that's supposed to ensure consumer safety is failing systematically. Lab fraud is documented. Methodological inadequacies are documented. Sampling issues are documented. The "passed testing" certification on a cannabis product is not the safety guarantee it should be.

The regulatory infrastructure responsible for catching contamination before it reaches consumers is under-resourced and reactive. Most recalls follow detection rather than proactive testing. The supply chain from cultivation through retail moves faster than the regulatory systems supposed to govern it.

The brands and labs responsible for repeat recalls face limited consequences. Stash House CO, Rotation Farms, NorCO, and others have appeared in multiple recall events without facing the kind of enforcement action — license revocation, criminal referral, financial penalties — that would create real deterrence.

Consumers have limited tools for protecting themselves. The information needed to make informed purchasing decisions is fragmented across state regulator websites, lab certifications of varying reliability, and brand reputation that doesn't necessarily reflect underlying safety practices.

The legal cannabis industry was supposed to be the version where you could finally know what was in your weed. The recall calendar suggests we're not there yet. The fix requires substantially more regulatory capacity, more aggressive enforcement, and more honest communication with consumers about the actual reliability of the safety systems.
