Who, what, when, where, why — A national recall affecting oils containing CBD and hemp extracts for cats and chien was issued on April 1, 2026 (ET). The recall covers products sold across France between March 18, 2022 and March 19, 2026 (ET). Authorities say the products are illegal because CBD and hemp extracts are not authorized additives for animal feed.
Chien: which products are affected
The recall targets all lots of CBD and hemp-extract oils marketed for cats and dogs under the brands CBDSOL and Mama Kana, and products sold by a named wholesale CBD supplier. Affected presentations include vials of 10 ml, 30 ml and 100 ml; some CBDSOL dog oils were sold only in 10 ml vials. All lots are listed as concerned, with a best-before date printed as March 20, 2028 on several 10 ml bottles.
Sales dates for the recalled items run from March 18, 2022 through March 19, 2026 (ET). Retail distribution included online shops operated by the named brands and the wholesale supplier. Consumers are instructed to stop using the products immediately and to return them to the point of sale or to destroy them. A refund procedure is available until September 1, 2026 (ET); a dedicated contact number has been provided for claims: 01 88 81 21 02.
What officials say
The Ministry of the Economy (France) issued a formal reminder that CBD and hemp extracts are treated as unauthorized additives for animal nutrition. “They are regulated and require authorization for their marketing and use, ” the Ministry of the Economy said, adding that only additives with proven efficacy may be authorized to protect professionals and consumers from products making unproven claims.
The recall database Rappel Conso published the recall notices that list the affected product names and formats and confirm that all lots for the named products are affected. The recall notices specify the brands CBDSOL and Mama Kana and the wholesale supplier’s online distribution as the channels where the products were offered.
Practical steps and immediate reactions
Consumers who bought these oils for a chien or for a cat should stop administration at once and check packaging for brand, concentration (5% and 10% CBD were among the referenced concentrations) and the best-before date March 20, 2028. The recall guidance allows returns to the original point of sale or destruction of the product; refunds are available if consumers contact the provided number before September 1, 2026 (ET).
The Ministry of the Economy emphasized regulatory safeguards: only additives backed by evidence and formally authorized may be placed on the market for animal feed, a measure intended to protect both professionals and pet owners from products that claim effects without proof.
Retailers who sold the named products are expected to cooperate with the recall notices and to provide refund processing information to affected buyers; the recall database lists the specific product references and packaging sizes that must be pulled from sale immediately.
What’s next — Inspectors and regulatory authorities are likely to monitor compliance with the recall listings and removal of the named items from sale. Pet owners should hold onto purchase receipts and product packaging and use the provided contact number for reimbursement questions; anyone who administered an oil to a chien or a cat and notices health changes should consult a veterinary professional promptly. The recall remains active as of April 1, 2026 (ET) and consumers should expect follow-up communications from retailers and authorities as the refund window progresses.
