Colorado marijuana regulators have issued a recall for marijuana potentially contaminated with mold. The affected product, sold by Levels dispensaries from December 2023 to December 2024, has been traced back to three batches of marijuana grown by Levels IV Inc. and SKL Holdings III LLC. Consumers who purchased this marijuana are urged to destroy it or return it to the dispensary for proper disposal.

Colorado marijuana regulators issued a recall for marijuana that could be contaminated with mold, but the flagged product was sold as early as 2023. According to a January 13 health and safety notice from the Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division and the state Department of Public Health and Environment, three batches of marijuana grown and sold by Levels IV Inc. and SKL Holdings III LLC, doing business as Levels dispensaries, were found to have failed potency and safety standards.

All of the affected product was sold at Levels dispensaries, located at 5201 West 48th Avenue in Denver and 389 Wadsworth Boulevard in Lakewood. The recalled strains weren't named by the MED, but all Levels cannabis packaging has the following cultivation license numbers: 403R-00810 (recreational) and 403-01384 (medical). The flagged pot was sold for almost a year, from December 28, 2023, to December 11, 2024. Still, the MED advises anyone who may still have the recalled marijuana from Levels to destroy it. 'Consumers who have this affected marijuana in their possession should destroy it or return it to the Regulated Marijuana Store from which it was purchased for proper disposal. Consumers who experience adverse health effects from consuming the Regulated Marijuana should seek medical attention immediately and report the event to the Marijuana Enforcement Division by submitting a MED Reporting Form,' the health and safety notice reads.Why Marijuana Recalls Can Take So Long Although recent legislation is intended to give regulators more power during the quarantine and recall process, it can still take months for marijuana recalls to be issued. Marijuana business owners are responsible for making sure all testing requirements are met, and the MED enacts recalls upon tips and inspections. The state agency must then follow certain guidelines upon identifying any potentially contaminated marijuana to avoid potential lawsuits from business owners — and all of that can take time, according to the MED
