The state says the affected products were produced by NorCO Outdoor Cannabis and sold at nearly two-dozen adult-use retail stores across Maine.

Inhaling cannabis with unsafe levels of the pesticide can cause nausea, fever, and altered mental status. The office urges consumers with adverse symptoms to contact a medical provider.
