CWR searched every state with an active cannabis or hemp program this week, plus the FDA recall portal for CBD and hemp product actions.
- No new cannabis, hemp, or CBD product recalls were issued anywhere in the United States between April 7 and April 13, 2026.
- Two major regulatory enforcement developments changed the map for hemp consumers: Texas smokable hemp is temporarily back on shelves after a court ruling April 10, and Ohio’s full intoxicating hemp ban has been in effect since March 20 with legal fights ongoing.
This is a zero-recall week for confirmed product contamination. No new mandatory or voluntary recalls were issued by any state cannabis agency, any state hemp enforcement body, or the FDA between April 7 and April 13, 2026. CWR checked every state with a legal cannabis or hemp program, all relevant federal agencies, and conducted supplemental web searches for states without public recall pages. The full state-by-state log is in the header above and in the closing section below.
Two states are in active legal battles over hemp enforcement with direct impact on what consumers and workers can buy, sell, and handle right now. Both situations are covered below.
⚠️ Texas: Smokable Hemp Ban Temporarily Blocked by Court (Regulatory Update)
Order date: April 10, 2026 · Court: Travis County District Court · Judge: Maya Guerra Gamble · Type: Temporary Restraining Order · Products affected: THCA flower, pre-rolls, live resin, hemp concentrates · Next hearing: April 23, 2026
In the March 31 recap, CWR reported that the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) enacted rules banning the sale of smokable hemp products by redefining how total THC is measured. THCA now counts toward the 0.3% threshold, which eliminated nearly every smokable hemp product on the market.
On April 10, Travis County District Judge Maya Guerra Gamble granted a temporary restraining order blocking enforcement of the DSHS rules after the Texas Hemp Business Council, Hemp Industry and Farmers of America, and several Texas-based businesses filed suit April 8. The lawsuit argues DSHS exceeded its constitutional authority by redefining what counts as legal hemp, something plaintiffs say only the state legislature can do.
What happens next: A hearing on a full temporary injunction is scheduled for April 23. More than 13,000 registered hemp retailers in Texas are watching that date closely. If the court does not extend the block, the ban could go back into effect the same day. CWR will report on the April 23 outcome next Monday.
⚠️ Ohio: Full Intoxicating Hemp Ban in Effect Since March 20, Legal Challenges Active (Regulatory Update)
Law: Senate Bill 56 · Effective: March 20, 2026 · Agency: Ohio Division of Cannabis Control (DCC) · Products banned: All intoxicating hemp including delta-8, delta-9 hemp, THCA flower, hemp-derived THC beverages, and CBD beverages above 0.4mg THC per container · Court challenges: Active
Ohio’s situation is not new this week but it belongs in this recap because it was never properly covered in the hemp and CBD context, and it directly affects consumers across the state. Ohio Senate Bill 56 took effect March 20, 2026, banning all intoxicating hemp products – including delta-8 gummies, THCA flower, and THC and CBD-infused beverages – from sale at any location except a licensed cannabis dispensary.
This is the most sweeping state-level hemp enforcement action currently in effect in the country. Any product with more than 0.4 milligrams of total THC per container is now reclassified as marijuana in Ohio and must be sold exclusively through licensed dispensaries with testing, taxation, and age verification requirements. Governor DeWine line-item vetoed an exception that would have allowed hemp beverages through the end of 2026, so those are fully banned as well.
A Sandusky County judge issued a temporary block of SB 56 in one city on April 8 amid ongoing legal challenges, though the Division of Cannabis Control says enforcement statewide continues while that litigation plays out. Two separate legal challenges are active: one in Franklin County Common Pleas arguing the Ohio law conflicts with federal hemp provisions, and another in the Ohio Supreme Court challenging the veto of the beverage provision.
If you are an Ohio hemp worker, retailer, or consumer of delta-8, THCA, or hemp-derived THC beverages, those products are not legally available outside licensed dispensaries. If you have purchased such products at a smoke shop, gas station, or convenience store in Ohio since March 20, they were sold outside the law. Contact the Ohio DCC at com.ohio.gov/divisions/cannabis-control to report violations.
Federal layer – FDA cannabis and hemp product status
CWR checks the FDA recall portal weekly for cannabis-derived product actions, including CBD and hemp products. No new cannabis, hemp, or CBD product recalls were listed on the FDA portal this week.
One FDA action worth noting from the prior week: on April 1, FDA Commissioner Martin Makary issued a narrow enforcement discretion memo for orally administered hemp-derived CBD products that meet specific criteria under a new Medicare pilot program. The memo does not create a general pathway for CBD products and applies only to Medicare-enrolled patients under physician supervision. It does not change what is required for consumer-facing CBD recalls. CWR will continue checking the FDA portal weekly.
What to do with recalled products still in your home
No new recalls this week, but several from prior weeks remain active. If you purchased cannabis products in Colorado (Juicy Concentrates, April 1), Minnesota (Tidal Wave vapes, early April), or New York (any products tested by Keystone State Testing New York, issued February 26), those recalls are still in effect. Stop using the products, return them to the dispensary where you bought them, or dispose of them safely. For adverse health effects, call Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222, available 24 hours a day.
The bigger picture this week
A week without product recalls is still a week with a lot happening. The two largest regulatory enforcement stories in cannabis and hemp right now are playing out in courtrooms, not labs. Texas and Ohio both moved aggressively to restrict intoxicating hemp, and both face legal fights from industries arguing that regulators overstepped their authority. The outcomes of the April 23 Texas hearing and the ongoing Ohio court cases will shape how hemp enforcement works in two of the largest consumer markets in the country for the rest of 2026.
The absence of product recalls this week should not be read as a sign that contamination pressure has eased. Colorado issued nine health and safety advisories between November 2025 and April 1. Minnesota issued its first-ever cannabis recalls in early April. Oklahoma’s Greenleaf Labs recall from March 19 covered 19,000 products tested across two years. These systems are active. A quiet week is a data point, not a conclusion.
