The recall grows after failures in lab tests
The recall, originally issued by IndoGro LLC on 11 June for nine lots of products, was extended on 25 June to 28 more. Officials identified unallowable pesticide residues and material sourced from unlicensed growers—violating state standards.
Safety of consumers at the forefront
Regulators are taking this precautionary measure even though no negative health effects have been reported. Adult-use dispensaries across New York must immediately remove the affected items—including flower and pre-rolls named “Sour Runtz,” “Blue Coffee,” “Oreoz,” and more—from shelves.
Compliance gaps uncovered
This issue was caused by invalid laboratory results that were submitted by an approved testing facility. The contamination was discovered after a retest, which prompted both regulatory action and consumer safety actions. Infractions are compounded by the introduction of cannabis materials that have not been licensed, which pushes it to structural compliance.
Next steps and guidance from the regulator
Retailers and distributors must notify the Office of Cannabis Management as well as consumers. Unopened or opened products can be returned. The Office has continued to stress the importance rigorous testing throughout the supply chains.
What Consumers Should Do
Contact your pharmacy to arrange for the return of any products that are affected, even if they have been used. If you have any health concerns, please report them via the state incident form. Or seek medical advice. New York has implemented active safety controls to ensure the quality of its legal cannabis.
