Software Glitch Delays Recall Of Potentially Contaminated Marijuana
DENVER (CBS4) -- Packages of medical and recreational marijuana product were labeled incorrectly and sold recently to the public despite tests that indicated potentially unsafe levels of yeast and mold.
Two states agencies, the Colorado Department of Revenue (which is tasked with oversight of the state's marijuana industry) and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, co-authored a press release Friday announcing the technical error and recall.
Labels on several batches of "Harvest" product displayed incorrect testing data due a technical error in the Inventory Tracking System's software update, the agencies stated in the release.
The affected marijuana was transferred and sold prior to the error's discovery.
