Marijuana with unsafe pesticide levels sold in Denver, Aurora, and Colorado Springs, health officials say
State health officials are warning consumers that two batches of marijuana sold by one company over several months throughout the Denver metro area and Colorado Springs have high levels of pesticides.
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and the state's Department of Revenue issued on Tuesday, warning of chlorfenapyr levels beyond "regulatory limits" in marijuana flower products sold by Levels IV INC from Sept. 9, 2025, through March 26.
Five stores in the state sold marijuana from the impacted batches, although one location has two separate entries and business license numbers. They include:
BUCKLEY43 LLC, doing business as "JARS CANNABIS" (402R-00305) | SPARK VENTURES INC, doing business as "SPARK DISPENSARY" (402-00429) |
LPCD LLC, doing business as "THE DAB" (402R-01006) | SPARK VENTURES INC, doing business as "SPARK DISPENSARY" (402R-00758) |
4 ROSES LLC, doing business as "BLEEZIES" (402-00618) | PHYSICIAN PREFERRED PRODUCTS LLC, doing business as "DOC'S APOTHECARY" (402R-00146) |
The company issued a voluntary recall, according to state officials, but they urge anyone who bought marijuana flower from the impacted batches to dispose of it or return it to the store in which it was purchased. The impacted batch numbers, which should be printed on the product label, are:
- ROOM 2-A 6/17
- ROOM 2-B 6/17
"Individuals who experience adverse health effects after consuming the affected product should seek medical attention immediately and report the event to the MED by submitting an ," the state's health advisory reads.
Marijuana products, including flower, pre-rolls, and vapes, have been recalled in Colorado for various reasons before, and in 2015, there were at least two recalls due to pesticides — one in September of that year and one in October — although other recalls have been due to yeast and mold, among other reasons.
