The products were sold through authorized retails in the province, distributed through the Ontario Cannabis Store.
So far, only one complaint was made to WellCann about the recalled products that did not involve an adverse reaction. Health Canada has yet to receive any complaints or reports.
Anyone who purchased this product can return it to the store where they purchased it from or dispose of it. Any opened product must be disposed of safely and be kept out of children’s reach, Health Canada adds.
