February 2, 2022 - PRESS RELEASE - The Colorado Department of Revenue (DOR), in conjunction with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), is issuing a health and safety advisory due to the identification of potentially unsafe levels of total yeast and mold contamination in retail infused pre-roll marijuana produced by DJR Colorado, LLC DBA High Level Health (DJR Colorado). The CDPHE and DOR deem it a threat to public health and safety when marijuana is found to have total yeast and mold levels above the acceptable limits established in Colorado Marijuana Rule 4-115.

The DOR has identified infused pre-roll marijuana from production batches produced by DJR Colorado that were confirmed to have failed contaminant testing. Based on the investigation, the DOR has identified additional production batches of infused pre-roll marijuana that were created using the same process that led to contaminant testing failures in the production batches listed below. Out of an abundance of caution, these additional production batches are included in this advisory and listed as potentially contaminated production batches.  

Consumers who have these affected products in their possession should destroy them or return them to the retail store from which they were purchased for proper disposal. Consumers who experience adverse health effects from consuming the product should seek medical attention immediately and report the event to the Marijuana Enforcement Division by submitting a MED Reporting Form. 

All affected marijuana should have a label affixed to the container that, at a minimum, indicates the license number of the retail marijuana business that manufactured the infused pre-roll marijuana, the production batch number, and the product name assigned to the marijuana. Consumers should check the label of their infused pre-roll marijuana for the following license number, product name, and production batch number.
