St. Paul, Minn. – The Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) is alerting consumers to avoid consuming Tidal Wave brand disposable 3.5-gram vapes distributed by Ocean Wholesale LLC due to product mislabeling and THC content above the legal limit. The product labels state they contain “less than 0.3% THC9.” Testing of the product indicated that they are not compliant.

All Tidal Wave brand 3.5-gram vapes distributed by Ocean Wholesale LLC are affected by this advisory. Products were distributed in Minnesota to hemp retailers, including tobacco and hemp/CBD stores. These products may have also been sold directly to consumers over the internet. The product labels do not contain lot numbers or any other batch-specific information.

These products are not compliant and therefore pose a threat to the health of consumers. Consuming more THC than intended could lead to unexpected adverse health effects. Individuals with existing health conditions may experience a greater risk for adverse health effects.

Contact your health care provider or Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222 if you become ill after consuming Tidal Wave disposable 3.5-gram vapes. If you have any of the affected products, please discard them and take measures to prevent accidental exposure. Report any adverse events with these products or any other cannabis-derived products to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) via MedWatch.

If you have questions about hemp-derived cannabinoid products, visit our Consumer Advisories webpage, or email cannabis.info@state.mn.us. If you purchased Tidal Wave disposable vapes and wish to submit a complaint to OCM, a form is available on the Contact Us webpage under Enforcement Inquiries.
