A statewide recall has been issued for a line of hemp pre rolls sold in Oregon after regulators determined the products contained significantly higher THC levels than allowed under state and federal law. The action followed a formal complaint from a consumer and a subsequent investigation by the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission, which oversees both marijuana and hemp products distributed within the state.
What was marketed as low potency hemp has now been identified as material capable of producing intoxicating effects, triggering immediate concerns about labeling accuracy, consumer safety and regulatory compliance.
The products at the center of the recall were distributed by Simply Sol LLC and released in multiple varieties, all produced on September 5th, of this year. They were sold in both six pack tins and individual tubes under several flavor names and were shipped to retailers across Oregon. Stores in numerous cities received the items including Portland, Eugene, Salem, Lincoln City, La Pine, Aurora, Gresham, Depoe Bay and Silverton. Regulators used the state's cannabis tracking system to identify and inform licensees who sold the affected pre rolls and to ensure they were removed from shelves as quickly as possible.
Consumers who purchased the products have been advised to discard them and to contact medical professionals if they experience unexpected symptoms.
