What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMoving to a consumer safety story. A recall of cannabis vapes in Colorado has grown, and health complaints are rising.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorLola Cruz is outside a dispensary in Denver.

Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentI'm standing outside a dispensary in Denver, where a handwritten sign in the window now lists the recalled products, and the list got longer today.

Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentRegulators expanded the recall as complaints about people getting sick keep coming in, and customers behind me are checking their pockets right now.

Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentI have one customer here, Bernard Soto, who says he owns one of the recalled cartridges. Sir, are you returning it?
Bernard SotoWell, I read the notice, ma'am, and I want to be clear, I'm thinking about it. This one and I have history.
Bernard SotoI call him Gary.

Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentGary is on the recall list, Mr. Soto.
Bernard SotoEverybody's on a list. I'd like to give Gary a proper goodbye, maybe a Sunday, with the folding chairs out.

Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentSir, if you feel unwell, stop using it and contact the store or a doctor. Gary will understand.
Bernard SotoFine. But you tell him it was the recall, not me.
