ST. PAUL, Minn. (KFGO) – The Office of Cannabis Management is alerting consumers to avoid consuming the “Oreoz” flavor of BAK8D brand delta-9 THC gummies due to product mislabeling and THC content above the legal limit.
OCM received a report of an adverse health event occurring after consuming the gummies. Testing indicated that levels of THC in an individual gummy were more than 20 times the labeled amount of 5 mg per serving.
All BAK8D brand delta-9 THC gummies may be affected by this advisory. Products were distributed in Minnesota at retail stores such as tobacco and hemp/CBD stores and may have been sold through internet and retail sales. The affected product flavor was Oreoz but four additional flavors manufactured by BAK8D may be affected.
“It is important that we know when a consumer has a bad experience with a product, so that our enforcement team can determine if there is an ongoing risk to the public,” said Eric Taubel, interim director of the Office of Cannabis Management. “This is an important part of responsibility to ensure public health and safety, consumer confidence and market integrity.”
Consuming more THC than intended can lead to adverse health effects. Eating cannabis carries a higher risk of overconsuming than smoking it, because it can be difficult to predict the amount that is consumed. When eating cannabis, the start of psychoactive effects is slower, and the duration is longer.
Contact your health care provider or Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222 if you have become ill after consuming BAK8D delta-9 THC gummies. If you have any of the affected products, please discard them and take measures to prevent accidental exposure. Report any adverse events with these products or any other cannabis-derived products to the FDA via MedWatch.
