OLCC Expands Recall of Cannabis E-Cig Pods in Oregon
Oregon's OLCC has expanded its recall of cannabis e-pods due to the presence of synthetic cannabinoids, affecting 7,000 units.

Portland, Oregon - The Oregon Liquor Control Commission (OLCC) has announced an expansion of the recall of marijuana electronic pods.


This recall was originally announced in January 2023.


The OLCC's ongoing investigation and evaluation has found that three batches of electronic cigarette products appear to contain prohibited additives. It states that these products do not meet national standards as they contain synthetic CBN and CBC, which produce sensory effects that are distinctly different from the psychoactive effects of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Ohio law prohibits electronic cigarette pods from containing synthetic cannabinoids and the synthesized CBC does not meet OLCC's requirements for non-cannabis additives.


This recall involves pods sold under the Firefly Extracts or Smoke-Rite Wellness brands. The OLCC stated that 7,000 units from the recalled batches have been sold, while approximately 500 units are still present in the market.


These recalled products were produced in a factory licensed by OLCC.


The OLCC has released a list of recalled products.


Product names, production dates, and start of sales for several Firefly pods have been reported by the OLCC. The "Purple Kush 8:1" pod with label ID 5658 was produced on May 27, 2022, and went on sale on June 21, 2022. The "Suver Haze" pod with the same label ID was produced on May 24, 2022, and began selling on March 11, 2022. The "T-1" or "High CBD 8:1" pod with label ID 5658 was produced on May 19, 2022, and has been available since that date. The "Cherry Wife 8:1" or "High CBD Blend 8" pod with label ID 5658 was produced on September 9, 2021, and went on sale on February 13, 2022. The "Cherry Wife 1:1" or "High CBD Blend 1" or "High CBD Blend 1:1" pod with label ID 5658 or 344 was produced on September 9, 2021, and began selling on October 23, 2021.

The "El Jefe" or "High CBD Blend 0" pod with label ID 5658 was produced on July 15, 2021, and went on sale on July 28, 2021. The "Sour Space Candy" pod with the same label ID was produced on May 3, 2021, and began selling on May 9, 2021. The "High CBD Blend 0" pod with label ID 5658 was produced on December 1, 2020, and became available on December 24, 2020. The OLCC has instructed those who purchased these recalled products to dispose of them, but has not received any health-related complaints related to their use.
