LANSING, Mich. — The Michigan Marijuana Regulatory Agency is recalling several vape products due to high levels of vitamin E acetate.

The vaping cartridges sold at Plan B Wellness in Detroit from Oct. 3 to Nov. 22 last year and on Jan. 16.

Products included in the recall are:

  • Savage Stick 1G concentrate, METRC No. 1A405010000426A000000015
  • 1G Savage Blackberry Kush cartridge, METRC No. 1A405010000426A000000743
  • 1G Savage GG No. 4 cartridge, METRC No. 1A405010000426A000000744
  • 1G Savage Runtz cartridge, METRC No. 1A405010000426A000000746

Vitamin E acetate has been identified by U.S. health officials as a “very strong culprit” in the mysterious outbreak of vaping illnesses. The compound was found in liquid used by many of the people who got sick.

People who are in possession of any of the impacted products are advised to return them to the dispensary for proper disposal. Plan B Wellness will be notifying people who purchased the product about the recall.
