Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway is taking action against businesses that sell and manufacture 7-OH, a "deadly opioid" substance. The lawsuit was filed in Jackson County circuit court against CBD American Shaman and related companies for distribution of kratom and substances like 7-hydroxymitragynine. Hanaway alleges that American Shaman overstates the safety of its products and continues to sell these products despite repeated warnings. She is asking the court to declare American Shaman's business practices violate the state's Merchandising Practices Act and to fine the companies $1,000 per violation. The city of Kansas City has also approved a ban on synthetic 7-OO products and certain synthetic kratom products, commonly referred to as "gas station drugs."
