France Issues Urgent Recall for Banned Pet Products
French authorities have ordered multiple recalls for CBD oils intended for pets. The products were sold nationwide under several brand names.
Filmogaz.com reports the items were marketed between 18 March 2022 and 19 March. Sales occurred on the online shops of CBDSol, Grossiste CBD and Mama Kana.
Authorities say this prompted an urgent recall of banned pet products in France. The measures aim to protect animal owners and the market.
