Colorado marijuana recall affects Magnolia Road sales in Las Animas County

Shoppers who bought marijuana flower at Magnolia Road in Trinidad between Feb. 11 and April 23 should check the package now against a Colorado recall tied to pesticides above state limits. The May 5 health and safety advisory from the Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division identified the product as regulated marijuana flower produced by Arkansas Valley Organics, LLC.

The local impact reaches Las Animas County through Magnolia Road’s Trinidad store, one of three locations that sold the recalled product, along with stores in Boulder and Colorado Springs. Magnolia Road stocked the harvest batch for more than two months before the recall notice was issued, which means some buyers may still have the product at home or in a vehicle, drawer, or storage bag. The recalled label number is 403R-01222 and the harvest batch is SLH-I.

State regulators said the problem involved pesticides above the action limits in Colorado Marijuana Rule 4-215. Magnolia Road’s recall was voluntary, and Arkansas Valley Organics cooperated with state officials. The advisory did not give a count of Trinidad customers who may have bought the flower, but the sales window shows the number could stretch across weeks of routine retail traffic, not just a single weekend or event.

Buyers who purchased the product should compare the label number and batch information with their package and receipt, then follow the state recall guidance attached to the advisory. The Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division says licensed medical and retail marijuana businesses are required to use METRC as the primary inventory tracking system of record, which is how regulators can trace product from harvest to store and back through the supply chain.

For Las Animas County consumers, the recall is a reminder that marijuana enforcement does not stop at the grow site or the dispensary counter. It reaches into the paper trail, the inventory system, and the shelf in Trinidad, where a single harvest batch can stay in circulation long enough to affect buyers over a broad stretch of time.
