Missouri  regulators issued another cannabis recall on Friday, the third last month, this time for about 37,000 marijuana products.

That brings the total number of marijuana products recalled in August to up nearly 175,000—almost triple Missouri’s first massive cannabis product recall a year ago.

The focus of the recall is products made by Jonesburg-based manufacturer Blue Sky Health & Wellness LLC, a facility between Columbia and St. Louis. The designated contact for the facility is Ketan Patel, according to state records.

No adverse reactions for this product have been reported to the Division of Cannabis Regulation, according to the division notice of the action on Friday evening.

“The recalled marijuana products were not compliantly tracked in the statewide track-and-trace system called Metrc as mandated by state marijuana rules,” the notice states. “Therefore, DCR cannot verify compliance with health and safety requirements.”

The division lists the recalled products in two Excel sheets. One is “product recall list,” which includes the identifiers that the manufacturers use to track products. The division also posted a “consumer recall list” that includes numbers that customers are more likely to see on their products.

The division advises patients and consumers to stop using the products and return them to the dispensary.

“Returned products will not count toward a patient’s purchase limit,” it states.

Also any adverse reactions should be reported to the division of cannabis by email or through an online complaint form.
