This guide describes the general best-practices action plan for conducting product recall and removal/withdrawal as related to any incident requiring the recovery of cannabis-derived products. This guide applies to all cannabis-derived products commercially manufactured and distributed for consumer use. This guide is for suppliers, consumers, retailers, and distributors. A specific product recall decision is the result of unacceptable product safety and requires notification of the appropriate governmental agencies governing the entity’s product safety laws. Governing regulatory agencies expect a product to be recalled if it is deemed to be unsafe, misbranded, or adulterated. These governing agencies are referenced as regulatory agencies throughout this guide. Various jurisdictional regulatory agencies may have specific and additional recall requirements falling beyond the recommendations of this guide. In these cases, the requirements of the governing regulatory agency must be followed. This document also provides general guidelines for the removal/withdrawal of products from the marketplace. Product removal/withdrawal is undertaken for purely commercial reasons that are typically unrelated to product safety and does not require regulatory agency notification. Product removal/withdrawal is carried out in the same manner as a product recall. This guide is being published as a best-practices approach and does not replace absolute jurisdictional regulatory requirements.
