A Colorado marijuana company is recalling flower sold at several metro Denver dispensaries after state testing found pesticide levels that exceed legal limits, public health officials said Thursday.
Batches of marijuana produced by Levels IV and sold in Denver, Aurora, Northglenn, Broomfield and Colorado Springs was contaminated with the pesticide chlorfenapyr, the Department of Public Health and Environment and Department of Revenue said in an alert.
The recall includes batches that passed initial tests but later received additional testing “due to laboratory testing concerns identified during an investigation,” state officials said.
Levels IV worked with the state’s Marijuana Enforcement Division to start a voluntary recall of flower sold between Sept. 9 and March 26, according to the alert.
Stores that sold the recalled flower include:
- Aurora: Jars Cannabis, 4343 S. Buckley Road, Unit E
- Broomfield: The Dab, 4490 W. 121st Ave Suite 8
- Colorado Springs: Bleezies, 195 N. Academy Blvd
- Denver: Spark Dispensary, 4799 N. Colorado Blvd
- Northglenn: Doc’s Apothecary, 2100 E. 112th Ave, Unit 5
Affected batches will have labels with the retail cultivation license number 403R-00235 and batch labels ROOM 2-A 6/17 and ROOM 2-B 6.17.
People who bought the contaminated marijuana should destroy it or return it to the store where they bought it for disposal, according to the state. Anyone who has a bad reaction from consuming the contaminated flower should seek immediate medical attention and report it to the state’s Marijuana Enforcement Division.
