STATEWIDE, Colo. (KRDO) -- The Colorado Department of Revenue (DOR) and Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) are issuing a Health and Safety Advisory after it found contaminated marijuana vaporizer delivery devices.

DOR and CDPHE say the products were distributed by Staycon LLC, who do business as Craft. According to officials, the ingredients used in the manufacturing of the regulated marijuana were found to contain methylene chloride.

The affected product impacted more than 400 stores between March 27 and September 25. That includes several stores in Colorado Springs, Pueblo, Pueblo West, Denver, Las Animas and other surrounding communities.

DOR and CDPHE say consumers who have this marijuana should destroy it or return it to the store where it was bought for proper disposal.

DOR and CDPHE say at this time, they have not heard of any adverse health events.
