Michigan retailers and budtenders should pull one gummy SKU and check source tags before the next shift. The Gummie Joint, working with the Cannabis Regulatory Agency, is voluntarily recalling Naked Hippie – Lucky Berry gummies after a year of customer complaints.

The Nov. 5, 2026 LARA / CRA press release says customers reported an unpleasant euphoric experience or “high” and that the product may also have caused digestive distress. Out of an abundance of caution, The Gummie Joint is withdrawing the product from the market.

What is being recalled

The recall covers Naked Hippie – Lucky Berry gummies produced in the last year by The Gummie Joint. Each pouch carries a compliance sticker with source package information. Consumers whose pouches show source tag 1A4050300030A22000039972 are asked to discard the product. The producer has removed the remainder of that batch from commercial sale.

The CRA’s Naked Hippie voluntary recall page lists sales locations and METRC package tags. Counting unique adult-use retailer license numbers on that list yields 28 AU-R licensees across Michigan.

What consumers and stores should do

  1. Match the source tag. Look for 1A4050300030A22000039972 on the compliance sticker.

  2. Return or dispose. Return recalled product to the sales location where it was purchased or dispose of it safely.

  3. Report adverse reactions. Tell a healthcare provider about symptoms and product use. Also report to the CRA through its Adverse Reaction Form or by phone at 517-284-8599.

  4. Retailers: Cross-check METRC tags on the CRA recall list, quarantine matching inventory, and brief floor staff so customers get consistent instructions.

What this means for operators

  1. Pull and quarantine now. Do not wait for a customer to find the tag at the counter.

  2. Train the floor. Budtenders need the source tag, return/dispose script, and CRA phone number in one place.

  3. Document the chain. Log returns, destructions and METRC adjustments the same day.

  4. Review intake COAs and complaint logs. A year of similar complaints is a signal to escalate earlier next time.

What this means for cannabis workers

If you sell or package edibles in Michigan, know how to look up a source tag, where recalled product goes in your shop, and how to point a customer to the CRA adverse-reaction path without giving medical advice. Processors should confirm whether open work-in-progress or wholesale allocations still carry the listed source package.

The bigger picture

Voluntary recalls coordinated with a state cannabis agency are how regulated markets are supposed to work when complaints stack up. Regulators elsewhere are also focusing on labeling, testing and consumer harm — different tools, same theme.
