vape cartridge

(WWJ) It's another big pot recall by the state. 

The Michigan Marijuana Regulatory Agency is recalling some medical marijuana  vape products because of failed laboratory testing for high levels of Vitamin E Acetate — which health officials believe cause severe lung illness.

The recall affects some products sold at Fuel 420 in Jackson, the Green House of Walled Lake in Walled Lake, and The Green Mile Detroit; as well as  Liv Wellness Center in Ferndale and the Vassar LLC in Vassar, Michigan. 

This health and safety recall affects vape cartridges that were made before new emergency rules concerning vape products went into effect in November of last year. 

All affected cartridges will have a label that indicates the license number of the marijuana facility that sold the marijuana product, as well as the METRC tag number assigned to the product in the statewide monitoring system.

The following products are included:
