CWR Weekly Recall Recap: Week of March 31–April 6, 2026

• Colorado’s Juicy Concentrates recall hit 53 dispensaries — 108 batches, two banned pesticides, issued April 1.
• Texas smokable hemp is off the shelves at more than 9,000 locations as of March 31.
• CWR searched every major US state regulatory agency this week. Here is what we found.

Every week, CWR runs a full search of every major US state cannabis and hemp regulatory agency to find every active recall and significant enforcement action. This week covered March 31 through April 6, 2026. Two entries this week: one confirmed contamination recall, one regulatory enforcement action. Check your products. Check your batch numbers.

🔴 Colorado — Juicy Concentrates (Pesticides: Chlorfenapyr and MGK-264)

Issued: April 1, 2026  ·  Issuing agency: Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division  ·  Type: Voluntary  ·  Reason: Pesticides above acceptable limits  ·  Risk: Moderate to high  ·  Stores affected: 53

Colorado’s Marijuana Enforcement Division issued a health and safety advisory for 108 batches of cannabis concentrate and vaporizer products from J&C LLC, doing business as Juicy Concentrates, after testing found pesticide levels above acceptable limits. Four batches tested positive for both chlorfenapyr and MGK-264. The remaining 104 batches tested positive for MGK-264 only. Products were sold at 53 dispensaries statewide. The company worked with the MED to initiate a voluntary recall.

Chlorfenapyr is a banned insecticide that kills mites by disrupting energy production in cells. It is not approved for use on cannabis. This is the ninth marijuana recall issued in Colorado in 2026 and the sixteenth since last November. The MED warned cannabis business owners in January 2026 that regulators were aware of ongoing non-compliance with pesticide testing requirements. Chlorfenapyr has appeared in at least eleven Colorado health and safety advisories since June 2025. That is not a coincidence — it is a supply chain pattern.

If you purchased Juicy Concentrates products recently, return them to the dispensary or dispose of them immediately. If you are experiencing any adverse effects, call Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222.

⚠️ Texas — DSHS Smokable Hemp Enforcement (Regulatory Action — Not a Product Recall)

Effective: March 31, 2026  ·  Agency: Texas Department of State Health Services  ·  Type: Category-wide regulatory prohibition  ·  Enforcement of violations begins: October 1, 2026

This entry is not a product recall. No specific batch number was issued. No contamination was found. It is included because hemp consumers and workers in Texas need to know what changed, and the scale of the impact belongs in this report.

New rules from the Texas Department of State Health Services took effect March 31, 2026, effectively banning the retail sale of all smokable hemp products in the state. The ban works by changing how THC is measured. THCA — which converts to delta-9 THC when heated or smoked — now counts toward the 0.3% legal limit under a new “total THC” formula. Since THCA flower naturally contains 20% to 35% THCA, no smokable hemp product can come close to meeting that threshold. Every product in that category is now off retail shelves.

Products affected include THCA flower, pre-rolls, live resin, live rosin, and all other smokable hemp extracts. Hemp edibles, beverages, tinctures, and CBD products remain legal as long as they stay within the 0.3% total delta-9 THC threshold. Hemp vapes had already been banned since September 2025 under separate state law.

More than 9,100 retail locations in Texas were registered to sell consumable hemp products. Industry analysts estimate the combined state and federal crackdowns could displace more than 40,000 Texas workers and force over 6,300 businesses to close. Retailers spent the final days of March clearing shelves and boxing up products they could no longer sell.

Retail enforcement by DSHS does not begin until October 1, 2026. A legal challenge from the Texas Hemp Business Council is expected in spring 2026, with an injunction request likely targeting the DSHS’s authority to redefine “total THC” through administrative rulemaking rather than legislation. The Texas Supreme Court also has a related case pending on the same underlying question. If you are a hemp worker or business owner in Texas affected by this action, contact CWR.

What to do if you have a recalled product

• Stop using it. Return it to the dispensary where you bought it or dispose of it safely.
• Check your batch number. The Colorado recall includes specific batch numbers on the MED advisory page. Match them to the label on your product.
• Report adverse effects immediately. Call Poison Control: 1-800-222-1222, available 24/7.
• File a complaint with your state agency.  Easily find and contact your state cannabis regulatory body on our State-By-State resources map!  Your report can help regulators trace affected products faster and (in theory) create a safer industry.

The bigger picture this week

In Colorado, Juicy Concentrates marks the sixteenth pesticide-related recall or advisory since November 2025. Chlorfenapyr has appeared across multiple companies, multiple grow operations, and multiple quarters. State-by-state, company-initiated voluntary recalls are not stopping it. The MED said as much in its January warning memo. Until there is systematic accountability at the grow facility and supply chain level, the recalls will keep coming.

In Texas, a regulatory redefinition pulled the rug on an entire industry and its products. The products being removed did not suddenly become dangerous overnight. It was the rules that were changed as to how those products are measured that brought safe access to its knees. Workers who built jobs around smokable hemp, retailers who built stores around THCA flower, and patients and consumers who used these products legally for years are now navigating a market that looks completely different than it did on March 30. Texas says they will not start enforcement of the ban until October 1.
