Maine’s Office of Cannabis Policy (OCP) on Monday issued a mandatory recall for a series of live resin pellets for adult use after testing revealed unsafe levels of Chlorfenapyr, an insecticide known to be toxic to humans.

The recall affects Yani “Watermelon Chimera” cartridges manufactured by NorCO Outdoor Cannabis under serial number 1A40D0300006145000011115. The products were sold as 0.5 gram and 1 gram live resin pellets in 21 licensed dispensaries across the state and the products were in circulation between July 10, 2025 and October 16, 2025.

OCP ordered the recall after a consumer complaint of an adverse health reaction prompted an official investigation, which included testing the offending batch of products.

“The products are being recalled due to those test results showing unsafe levels of the pesticide Chlorfenapyr. Inhaling cannabis containing unsafe levels of Chlorfenapyr can lead to high fever, sweating, nausea, vomiting and/or altered mental status.” – OCP statement

Officials recommended that consumers check the packaging of their cannabis products for the affected batch number and safely dispose of any recalled products or return them to the retailer where they were purchased.

Scammers in Delaware claiming to represent Fresh Delaware — a state-licensed cannabis business — are saying they will deliver products to customers, which is not allowed under state law. The state Division of Alcohol and Tobacco Enforcement (DATE) said it has received reports of fraudulent business cards and flyers in the Newark area, which includes the University of Delaware campus.

“The public should know that no licensed recreational marijuana distributor in Delaware is allowed to offer marijuana or marijuana products. Any business claiming to offer such distribution services is operating illegally.” – DATE in a press release

The flyers include the Fresh Cannabis name and logo, while one claims “fast delivery to students on campus” and offers a free eighth for signing up for the service and a free ounce for student referrals.

A Fresh Delaware employee said Delaware Online that the dispenser does not offer deliveries.

DATE said it is actively investigating the scheme and asked the public to provide the agency with any information about the materials. Jon Peterson, a spokesman for DATE, said Newark Post that “Scammers are trying to trick potential customers into buying marijuana products illegally.”
