Key Points:
Recall details: Sky Cannabis is recalling 26,000 cannabis vape cartridges containing banned MCT oil, covering six product types sold after November 1, 2024.
Response measures: The company is working with retailers to recover and dispose of affected products.
Background: This is Michigan’s second product recall in 2025. Nationwide, many recalls are too slow to retrieve products already sold and used.
According to MJBizDaily on August 13, the Michigan CRA recall notice states that multiple “Motor City Cannacarts” and “RIPZ” branded vape cartridges sold after November 1, 2024, may contain medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil.
MCT oil, derived from coconut oil or palm kernel oil, is a food additive that was detected in some patients during the 2019 EVALI (e-cigarette or vaping-associated lung injury) outbreak.
Up to 26,000 vape cartridges may be affected by the recall.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has identified vitamin E acetate, another food additive, as the primary cause of the vaping-related lung injury crisis, which led to at least 68 deaths and 2,800 hospitalizations.
Michigan regulators said Sky Cannabis has identified cannabis retailers holding the affected products and is working with them to remove and destroy the recalled cartridges. Notices have been posted in stores advising customers to return or properly dispose of the products.
This recall is the state’s second in 2025. Across the U.S., many product recalls occur too slowly to effectively recover items that have already been sold and consumed.
