Sherman Hom, PhD, presents "Cannabis Product Recalls, All States Compendium, Allows Identification of Gaps in Safety Surveillance Regulations" at CannMed 24.

The purpose of this study is to create an ongoing compendium of cannabis product recalls by state and perform analyses within and among states to make general observations, identify historic trends, and identify gaps to enhance consumer awareness and safety.

Product recalls are one of many tools that are used to protect cannabis patients and consumers. There are many issues that may cause a product recall, such as a test that detects a chemical or microbial contaminant that exceeds the action level.

As of November 2023, 25 US States have legal Adult-use and Medical Cannabis Programs, and 14 States have only legal Medical Cannabis Programs. All State Cannabis Programs have adopted testing regulations, which include tests to determine cannabinoid potency and detect product contamination.
