The largest cannabis recall in Michigan history has been partially struck down.

The Marijuana Regulatory Agency’s recall includes more than $200 million in pulled products.

The MRA’s recall involves nearly all products tested by Viridis Laboratories from August to November of this year.

The cannabis testing company filed a lawsuit against the MRA in response to the recall.

On Friday, a Michigan Court of Claims judge made the decision to release back to the market products tested at one of Viridis’s two labs.

David Harns is a spokesperson for the MRA.

“We’ve immediately implemented action to comply with the courts order.”

Litigation is still pending over the recall involving products tested at the company’s Lansing lab.

In a statement, Viridis attorneys say they applaud the court’s decision and will continue to shine a spotlight on the MRA’s unprofessional practices.
