Missouri Ag Hanaway Sues Kc-Based American Shaman over 7-Oh Sales ...
The lawsuit seeks to remove 7-OH products from shelves and could fine the company up to $1,000 per violation, officials said.
- On Tuesday, Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway filed a lawsuit against Kansas City-based CBD American Shaman, demanding an immediate halt to the company's advertising and sale of kratom and 7-OH products.
- Often dubbed 'gas station heroin' in the lawsuit, 7-OH is a synthetic derivative of kratom; mitragynine, the active ingredient, has contributed to at least nine deaths in the metro area over two years.
- The Missouri Poison Control Center reported more than 20 calls regarding withdrawal last year, while Life Changers Missouri executive director Justin Bumbalough noted patients are 'swapping additions' from opioids to 7-OH.
- Accusing the company of deceptively marketing 7-OH as a 'safe' dietary supplement, the lawsuit requests a preliminary injunction to remove products and impose $1,000 fines per violation.
- American Shaman owner Vince Sanders defended his products, stating the company has 'consistently maintained that our products are safe' and confirmed the company intends to fight the legal challenge.
