No NR was issued for this and the company was quoted as saying the following:
“As an immediate corrective action, Hexo has implemented enhanced third-party hardware approval criteria including the use of an independent third-party accredited lab to assess all devices under consideration,” Shannon McCoy, Hexo vice president of quality, wrote in a statement emailed to MJBizDaily." "Hexo expects the financial impact of the voluntary recall to be minimal, and well within the normal course of business,” McCoy added, without specifying the exact number of recalled vape pens."
