Michigan Recalls Over 26,000 Cannabis Vape Cartridges
Hey everyone, there’s an important update coming out of Michigan that I wanted to share. More than 26,000 marijuana vape cartridges are being recalled after it was discovered that they contain a diluting agent that isn’t considered safe for consumption. This recall affects several popular strains, including Motor City Cannacarts’ Georgia Pie and Confetti Cake, as well as RIPZ cartridges like Peach Cobbler, Wedding Cake, Ice Cream Man, and Tropic Thunder.
The Cannabis Regulatory Agency, or CRA, announced the recall on August 12. The cartridges in question were produced by Sky Cannabis, a company based in Warren. They’ve voluntarily agreed to pull these products from shelves after it was found that the cartridges contain Medium Chain Triglyceride, or MCT, oil. The CRA has stated that MCT oil should not be used in vape pens, and its presence in these cartridges makes them unsafe for inhalation.
This isn’t the first time MCT oil has caused concern in cannabis products. Back in October, the CRA banned MCT oil in vape cartridges after a cannabis testing company in Michigan reported that more than 30% of products they tested contained MCT oil, synthetically converted cannabis oils, or even pesticides. Other states, like Colorado, have already taken similar action, banning MCT oil in inhaled cannabis products following the vaping-related lung illness outbreak in 2019.

If you happen to have one of these recalled cartridges, the CRA is advising you to either return it to the store where it was purchased or dispose of it safely. Dispensaries that sold the affected products, which include Jars Cannabis and House of Dank stores in metro Detroit among others, have been working with Sky Cannabis to retrieve any remaining stock. Many of these stores have also posted signs advising customers about the recall.
Sky Cannabis has stated that they are fully cooperating with the CRA to ensure all licensed cannabis products meet strict production, quality, and safety standards. Meanwhile, consumers who notice any adverse reactions after using these vape cartridges are encouraged to contact their healthcare provider and report their experience to the CRA using an “Adverse Reaction Reporting Form,” which can be found on the agency’s website or by phone.
For anyone curious, MCT oil comes from coconut and palm kernel oils and is sometimes used as a dietary supplement. While it is considered a quick energy source when ingested, the effects of inhaling it in cannabis products haven’t been fully studied, which is why regulatory authorities are taking this precaution seriously.
So, if you’ve purchased any of these products since November 1, 2024, make sure to check your cartridges and take action if needed. Safety always comes first, especially when it comes to something you’re inhaling.
If you want, I can also make a slightly punchier version under 400 words that sounds even more like you’re speaking directly to an audience. Do you want me to do that?
