Arizona dispensaries are voluntarily recalling a marijuana concentrate/extract due to possible contamination with possible contamination with the pesticide piperonyl butoxide.
The product being voluntarily recalled is DIME Mint OG concentrate/extract with the batch number MOGBL0405 from cultivator Nature’s Wonder Inc, DBA Dime Industries.
To date, no illnesses have been reported, state officials said.
Piperonyl butoxide can cause irritation of the skin, numbness, itching, burning, stinging, tingling, or warmth that can last a few hours if a person is exposed to small amounts of the pesticide. In cases of exposure to large amounts of piperonyl butoxide, the pesticide can cause abnormal facial sensations, dizziness, salivation, headaches, fatigue, vomiting, diarrhea, or sensitivity to sound and touch.
Patients who have purchased a potentially contaminated product should not ingest, inhale, or otherwise consume them, and the Arizona Department of Health Services is advising purchasers to dispose of the product described.
Anyone who has already taken any of the products and has any of these symptoms should contact their healthcare provider or seek care in the event of an emergency.
