Colorado Hit by Five Marijuana Recalls in Four Weeks

Colorado’s cannabis space was hit by two separate recalls on December 4 — which makes five health-and-safety notices from the state Marijuana Enforcement Division since November 7.

One of yesterday’s recalls flagged cannabis flower grown by Double C Farms LLC, a wholesale grower based in Ordway. According to the MED, Double C Farms produced one harvest batch of a strain labeled Trop 2025 that failed testing for mold, yeast and “elemental impurities,” another term for banned heavy metals that are often found in growing nutrients.

The other recall was for flower produced by another wholesale grower: 1-11 LLC in Moffat. According to the MED, one harvest batch from 1-11 also failed testing for elemental purities.

The health-and-safety order for 1-11 says its recalled flower was sold at a Moffat dispensary under the same ownership, 1:11 located at 17034 Highway 17, from January 25 to August 21 of this year. All 1-11 flower has the following license number on its packaging: 402R-00581.

According to the MED recall notice for Double C Farms, it involves flower sold from November 7 to November 17 at Denver dispensary Trap House, located at 605 South Havana Street. All recalled Double C Farms flower has the following license number on its packaging: 403R-01048.

Dispensary shoppers who purchased the flagged cannabis and still have it in their possession “should destroy it or return it to the regulated marijuana store from which it was purchased for proper disposal,” the MED says. “Consumers who experience adverse health effects from consuming the regulated marijuana should seek medical attention immediately and report the event to the Marijuana Enforcement Division by submitting a MED Reporting Form.”

December 4’s safety orders are the latest in a string of recent recalls from the MED, which has issued sixteen so far in 2025. The MED announced public cannabis recalls on November 7, November 17 and November 26, the day before Thanksgiving. Those recalls listed a range of contamination issues, including banned pesticides, heavy metals and mold, and have affected dozens of dispensaries.

Last year, the MED issued nine recalls.

In October, the MED announced a collaborative effort with the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment to further inspect dispensaries across the state. Under the ongoing initiative, state inspectors were instructed to appear at pot shops without notice to collect products for contamination testing. According to the MED, data and testing results will be compiled for a report that will provide a window into Colorado’s regulatory safety and tracking system.
