The Marijuana Regulatory Agency (MRA) issued a health and safety advisory bulletin due to the presence of Vitamin E Acetate in several vape cartridges which failed laboratory testing.

Under the Nov. 22, 2019 emergency rules for products intended for inhalation, all products manufactured prior to Nov. 22, 2019 require testing for Vitamin E Acetate. The emergency rules prohibit a licensee from adding inactive ingredients not approved by the FDA for inhalation. The rules further require that all products brought in from caregivers (external transfer) is tested for the presence of Vitamin E Acetate as well as the testing specified in the administrative rules.

Many of the vape cartridges included in this recall have levels of Vitamin E Acetate greater than 500 times the limit of quantitation (LOQ), which is 100 parts per million (ppm). All products included in this notice were purchased from registered primary caregivers.

All affected vape cartridges will have a label that indicates the license number of the marijuana facility that packaged the marijuana product as well as a tag number assigned to the product in the statewide monitoring system.
