Sweet Talk cannabis gummies are coming off shelves across Ohio after state regulators found that some of the bite-sized treats were missing a key warning mark. On Friday, the Division of Cannabis Control ordered a recall of certain Sweet Talk cannabis gels and gummies after inspectors discovered that individual servings did not display the state's universal THC symbol, which is required to flag products as containing cannabis.
Without that symbol, regulators say the gummies could easily pass for regular candy, creating a particular risk for kids or anyone who does not realize what they are eating. The state is urging anyone who bought Sweet Talk products recently to double-check their packaging and follow return instructions.
According to the Cincinnati Enquirer, the recall covers Sweet Talk Gels/Gummies made by Harvest Processing LLC and purchased between Feb. 6 and Feb. 27. The paper reports that the affected products were sold at 11 licensed dispensaries in Ohio, including Trulieve and The Garden by KCG, and that the Division of Cannabis Control posted specific details for the product lots involved. Regulators have not said whether the breakdown happened at the packaging stage or during registration by the processor.
What To Check And How To Return
The Ohio Department of Commerce, which houses the Division of Cannabis Control, is telling customers to examine each individual piece for the universal THC symbol. Anyone holding unmarked servings is being asked to bring the product back to the dispensary for a refund, as reported by FOX19.
FOX19 also notes that the Division of Cannabis Control has said there have been no reported adverse events tied to the gummies so far. The agency has provided a consumer line at 1-833-464-6627 for people who want to report problems or ask questions. Under state guidance, dispensaries are required to post recall notices and accept returned product from customers.
Why The State Requires The Symbol
Ohio's rules demand clear, prominent labeling for cannabis products and give the Division of Cannabis Control the power to order recalls when something is considered a risk to public safety, according to the Ohio Administrative Code. The regulations instruct license holders to quarantine affected inventory, notify customers and dispensaries, and offer refunds when a recall is triggered.
Those are the same steps the Division has followed in earlier actions, including a prior DCC product alert (PDF) that walked consumers through how to return affected items. The rules are geared toward preventing accidental ingestion, especially by children, and keeping specific product lots traceable for any public health follow up.
This latest Sweet Talk recall highlights how Ohio is tightening enforcement around packaging and labeling as its cannabis market grows up. Anyone with questions about whether their purchase is included in the recall is being told to contact their dispensary or reach out directly to the Division of Cannabis Control for lot-level details and refund instructions.
