A national recall affecting oils containing CBD and hemp extracts for dogs and cats has been issued in France, prompting urgent action from consumers. The recall, effective April 1, 2026, targets all lots of CBD and hemp-extract oils marketed for pets under the brands CBDSOL and Mama Kana.
Products sold across France between March 18, 2022, and March 19, 2026, are included in this recall. Consumers are instructed to stop using the recalled products immediately and return them to the point of sale or destroy them. A refund procedure for the recalled products will be available until September 1, 2026.
The Ministry of the Economy in France has stated that CBD and hemp extracts are unauthorized additives for animal nutrition, raising significant concerns about the safety of these products. This announcement follows a growing trend of using CBD in pet care, which has not been adequately regulated.
Notably, Anthony McGill, the Principal Clarinet of the New York Philharmonic, has been in the spotlight recently for his musical achievements, but the focus now shifts to the safety of pets amid this recall. Gloria Chien, a renowned pianist, also made headlines with her orchestral debut at a young age, yet the urgency of this recall overshadows other news.
Consumers must act swiftly to ensure their pets’ safety, as the implications of using these products could be severe. The recall covers various vial sizes, including 10, 30, and 100 milliliters, with a best-before date extending to 2028.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the extent of any health issues related to the use of these products. As the situation develops, further updates from health authorities are expected.
