Colorado Weed Recall Hits 32 Dispensaries

Over thirty dispensaries were listed in a March 20 recall issued by the Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division, with the latest health and safety notice flagging a banned pesticide that continues to pop up in licensed facilities around the state.

According to the MED, marijuana concentrate from Timberline Extracts “initially passed testing but was later subjected to additional testing,” which found the presence of chlorfenapyr, a banned insecticide in Colorado’s weed industry that kills mites and other bugs by disrupting energy in their cells. Chlorfenapyr has been linked to at least ten different marijuana safety advisories since June 2025.

One batch of Timberline Extracts concentrate was included in the recall. According to the MED, the products were sold at 32 dispensaries across Colorado from September 4, 2025, to March 10 of this year.

“Individuals who possess this affected product should destroy it or return it to the store from which it was purchased for proper disposal. Individuals 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 recall advises.

Timberline Extracts is a marijuana extractor based in Antonito, according to state licensing records. The southern Colorado company could not be reached for comment.

This is the eighth marijuana recall issued in Colorado this year, and the fifteenth since last November. The MED sent a memo to licensees in January, warning business owners that regulators were aware of “non-compliance” with marijuana pesticide testing requirements, making contamination investigations “more complex” while leading to “an increase in Health and Safety Advisories issued by the Division.”
