Smokiez THC Gummies Recall Hits 85 Colorado Dispensaries

Marijuana gummies from Smokiez, a popular edibles brand, have been recalled across Colorado over pesticides concerns.

According to a June 17 health and safety notice from the Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division, five product batches from Smokiez contained ingredients that initially passed laboratory testing but were "later found to have been produced with ingredients exceeding regulatory limits" for the pesticide chlorfenapyr.

A banned insecticide by the MED, chlorfenapyr can carry a risk of hyperthermia when people are exposed to toxic levels. So far, there have been no reports of adverse health effects related to the gummies, the MED notes.

Smokiez worked with state regulators to issue the safety order, which involves approximately 85 recreational dispensaries in Colorado, according to the MED. Recalled products include blackberry, sour peach and sour watermelon THC gummies, as well as green apple and sour green apple CBG-THC gummies.

The gummies were sold between April 26 and June 11, and all have the license number 404R-00340 on their packaging, the MED says.

"Consumers who possess this affected product should destroy it or return it to the store from which it was purchased for proper disposal. Consumers who experience adverse health effects after consuming the affected product should seek medical attention immediately and report the event to the MED by submitting a MED reporting form," the MED adds.

According to Smokiez regional vice president Dillon Greenstein, THC oil used to make the flagged gummies was purchased with "passing results for all required testing by the state" and later passed another round of testing paid for by Smokiez. But the same oil failed tests at another lab for a company making infused pre-rolls and vaporizer cartridges, he notes, adding that there are no state-approved procedures to test gummies for pesticides after production.

"We feel like this is a bit flawed and can easily happen to edible companies again and again since the original oil was purchased with passed results and then they can’t test the finished gummies for the pesticides," Greenstein adds."I asked how I can prevent this in the future and there was no clarification."

This is the eighth marijuana recall issued by the MED in 2025. The most recent safety order, issued on June 9, was over vaporizers and infused pre-rolls produced by Dadirri that were initially approved by a state-licensed lab but then failed additional testing.

"There is always more behind the scenes when it comes to these recalls," Dadirri CEO Ashley Schriner told Westword at the time.
