Maine expands recall of flavored cannabis vapes due to unsafe pesticide levels
November 14, 2025
More flavored cannabis vape cartridges have been recalled due to unsafe pesticide levels.
In October, the Maine Office of Cannabis Policy recalled Yani adult use vape cartridges of the strain “Watermelon Chimera” produced by NorCO Outdoor Cannabis.
The recall followed a complaint saying the cartridge caused a consumer to have an adverse reaction and the cartridges were found to have unsafe levels of the pesticide Chlorfenapyr.
The Maine Office of Cannabis Policy is now adding to the list after test results showed more unsafe levels of the pesticide Chlorfenapyr.
The expanded recall involves additional Yani adult use vape cartridges of the strains “Apples & Bananas,” “Cherry Tartufo,” and “Lemon Cherry Pie.”
The products affected by the original recall were sold at 21 adult use cannabis retail stores. The expanded recall adds five more stores, located in Auburn (2), Kittery, Portland, and Thomaston, to the list of retailers that sold affected Yani adult use vape cartridges.
