Arizona Issues Voluntary Recall of Marijuana Products Due to Aspergillus Risk
A precautionary recall has been issued for specific marijuana products in Arizona due to the potential presence of Aspergillus, a fungus that can cause allergic reactions or infections in individuals with preexisting conditions. The affected product is Odo, Batch PHX1164-ODO, which has been confirmed to contain Aspergillus through laboratory tests.
The Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) has advised consumers to dispose of the recalled products immediately, as they may pose a risk to health. No confirmed illnesses have been reported, but the recall is being issued as a precautionary measure.
Consumers who have purchased the affected products are advised not to ingest, inhale, or use them and to dispose of them safely. If symptoms such as asthma-like symptoms, fever, or chest pain occur, individuals should contact their healthcare provider or seek emergency care.
The production facility and distribution partners have collaborated to remove the affected products from shelves, and consumers are encouraged to contact the establishment where they purchased the recalled products for further information. The recall is a reminder of the importance of testing requirements for marijuana products, as outlined in the Arizona Administrative Code for Adult-Use and Medical Marijuana Programs.
