Cannabis Recalls in NY: What to Know

In June 2025, the New York State Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) issued a product recall on specific IndoGrow cannabis flower due to unsafe pesticide levels. Fortunately, Cannabicity did not carry any of the recalled cannabis products—but it’s a good reminder of why it’s essential to shop safe and smart in New York’s legal cannabis market.

Why Do Cannabis Products Get Recalled?

All legal cannabis products in NYS dispensaries must undergo third-party lab testing for:

• Pesticides and contaminants

• Mold, mildew, and bacteria

• Heavy metals

• THC & CBD potency accuracy

Recalls happen if a product fails to meet the New York cannabis testing requirements or post-sale safety issues arise. These systems are in place to protect cannabis consumers like you.

Shop Smart in NY’s Cannabis Market

1. Buy from Licensed NY Dispensaries
Avoid the unregulated market. OCM-licensed dispensaries, like Cannabicity in Schenectady, carry only safe, lab-tested cannabis products.

2. Read Cannabis Product Labels
Every legal cannabis flower, vape cartridge, pre-roll, or edible must list batch numbers, test results, THC/CBD levels, and a valid NYS cannabis license seal.

3. Keep Your Receipts
Save your proof of purchase—helpful in rare cases of product recalls.

4. Stay Connected
Follow OCM alerts or subscribe to our Cannabicity newsletter to get updates on NYS cannabis regulations, product drops, and safety news.
