The Clearview Township based medical marijuana company, Peace Naturals Project Inc., is voluntarily recalling one of its product.
During the course of a regular inspection, conducted under the Marijuana for Medical Purposes Regulations, Health Canada said its inspectors determined the ‘Nyce N’ EZ’ product was, “labelled with delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) of 9.07 per cent with a product specification of +/- 2 per cent of THC. However, when retested from a third party laboratory, the product demonstrated that the content of THC may be as high as 13.7 per cent.”
“While exposure to high levels of THC may be associated with increased risks of experiencing certain adverse effects, the level of THC in this product does not appear to have been high enough to trigger an increased risk to the health and safety of clients,” states a Health Canada notice dated Feb. 10.
“The company has not received reports of any adverse events or complaints associated with the use of this product, nor has Health Canada received any reports of adverse reactions. Therefore, the impact of this mislabelling represents a low risk to the health and safety of clients.”
Peace Naturals Project is instructing clients to immediately discontinue use of any marijuana from lot numbers 12-NAE-003-14 and 12-NAE-003-14-A.
Clients should return the marijuana by contacting Peace Naturals Project to obtain appropriate packaging and postage paid shipping container. If clients wish to destroy the product at home, they should add water to the marijuana to render it unusable, mix it with cat litter to mask the odour and dispose of it with regular household waste.
