Michigan cannabis company recalls 26000 vape pod
According to a report by mjbizdaily on August 13, regulators said a Michigan cannabis company is recalling 26,000 cannabis vape cartridges that contain a banned additive.
According to the recall notice issued by the Michigan Cannabis Regulatory Agency on August 12, several “Motor City Cannacarts” and “RIPZ” vape cartridges sold after November 1, 2024, may contain medium-chain triglyceride oil (MCT oil).
MCT oil is a food additive derived from coconut or palm kernel oil that investigators found in some patients during the 2019 vaping-associated lung injury (EVALI) crisis.
As many as 26,000 vape cartridges may be affected.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said health investigators have identified another food additive, vitamin E acetate, as the primary culprit in the vaping-related lung illness crisis, which has resulted in at least 68 deaths and 2,800 hospitalizations.
The Michigan Cannabis Regulatory Authority said Sky Cannabis has identified the cannabis stores that stocked the affected products and is working with retailers to recover and dispose of the recalled cartridges.
Stores have posted signs advising consumers to return or dispose of the recalled vape cartridges.
This is Michigan’s second product recall in 2025.
Many product recalls nationwide have been too slow to recover products that have already been sold and used.
