DENVER – A marijuana infused manufacturing facility is voluntarily recalling marijuana products due to the presence of potentially unsafe pesticide residues in products samples, Denver Environmental Health said Tuesday in a press release.

The EdiPure recall affects 7,770 units of 17 different products, including a variety of infused candy products.

Contaminated hash oil was used to produce a variety of EdiPure candies, some of which tested positive for one or more of the following: Myclobutanil, Avermectin, and Imidacloprid – which cannot be legally used on marijuana in Colorado.

DEH said the products were widely distributed to store locations around the state. So far, there have been no reports of illness.
