7OHMZ Kratom Addiction Investigation

If you or a loved one has become addicted to 7 ΩHMZ 7-Hydroxymitragynine kratom tablets, you may be entitled to compensation for your pain and suffering. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, “‘kratom” commonly refers to an herbal substance that can produce opioid- and stimulant-like effects,” and while kratom and kratom-based products are currently legal and accessible to many, the herbal supplement is starting to be targeted by wrongful death lawsuits. 7 ΩHMZ 7-Hydroxymitragynine kratom tablets, sometimes referred to as 7OHMZ kratom tablets, are not well understood when it comes to their impact on long-term health. 

What is Kratom?

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, “‘kratom’ refers to both Mitragyna speciosa, a tree native to Southeast Asia, and to products derived from its leaves that are marketed as herbal supplements.” Its leaves include many chemical compounds (known as bioactive alkaloids) that can impact the body. 

“The most well-studied compounds related to kratom are mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine,” the Institute noted. However, “much is still unknown about chemical compounds related to kratom, the short- and long-term health and safety impacts of kratom use and kratom’s potential therapeutic uses.”

7OHMZ Kratom Tablet Addiction

Unfortunately, some people have reported experiencing addiction and withdrawal symptoms after attempting to stop using kratom, with 7OHMZ kratom tablets appearing to be of particular concern. 

In July 2023, a jury in Washington awarded a $2.5 million verdict in the first kratom wrongful death trial in the United States, NPR reported. In another case, a mother from Florida ordered a concentrated kratom extract off the internet and later died from what a medical examiner determined was acute kratom intoxication. In May 2023, a federal judge ordered the vendor to pay more than $4.6 million in damages to her family.

Notably, kratom and its related compounds have not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration as safe and effective for medical use, the NIDA reported. However, the Institute noted that many individuals use it to “alleviate drug withdrawal symptoms and cravings (particularly for opioids), to alleviate pain, and to help manage mental health problems.”

How Many People Use Kratom?

An estimated 1.7 million Americans 12 and older used kratom in 2021, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s National Survey on Drug Use and Health and the FDA.

The FDA “has not approved any prescription or over-the-counter drug products containing kratom or its two main chemical components, mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH-mitragynine).” Generally, the agency warns the public against the use of kratom for medical treatment.

Talking to Phillips Law Group was the best thing I could do, at first I had my doubts if they really spoke Spanish, but if there are people who speak Spanish and help you so humanely, I recommend that you talk to them in case of accidents, they send you to the doctor They are in charge of guiding you in absolutely everything and after everything was paid I received a monetary compensation which I did not expect and it was a great blessing

I will never forget the exceptional service and care you provided.

I came to Phillips law group as a very naive individual. They took me under their wing and they took great care of me. Montana is his name and he had my back when no one else did. I can't explain what a relief that was in a dark and painful time. They made sure I had all the care I needed and they made great sacrifices to ensure I came out happy. You cannot go wrong with having Philips law group represent you. I'd recommend them to my family and friends and to you strangers. Montana I'm in your debt.

My husband and I have been clients of Phillips Law Group since 1999. Over that time, we have probably used their services 15 to 20 times for various reasons and have referred at least 100 people to them. What’s really great about Phillips & Associates is that, in addition to providing excellent service, if they don't believe they are absolutely the best firm for your case, they won’t take it. Instead, they refer you to another firm that can better handle your needs. This approach is unlike many other firms that might take a shot at handling your case, often learning on the job at the client's expense. Knowing that they would rather decline a case than risk giving the...

Took care of my case and told me there was a possibility of a higher settlement and I kinda forgot that they said that and was contacted by them more than a year later and was told there was another check at their office for me. Very down to earth people and will fight for you as hard as they can. Highly recommend their office to work with!

My name is Josh Porter. If you want to work with people that will move mountains for you in your case then hire Phillips Law Group. At the beginning of my lawsuit my kidney transplant of 30 years failed and the next four years became the hardest time of my life. There were days where we didn't know if I would make it. Phillips Law Group became my HOPE during this time in my life. In life I believe God will bring people across our path's that are super rare and a DIAMOND. At the beginning of my case I met my paralegal named Hannah Rios. Hannah is an amazing, caring, merciful, graceful, warrior, grab the bull by its horn...

7 ΩHMZ Kratom Addiction Lawsuits

Some people who have used kratom report stimulant-like effects such as increased energy, alertness, and rapid heart rate, as well as effects that are similar to opioids or sedatives. 

While the FDA warns of “the risk of serious adverse events, including liver toxicity, seizures, and substance use disorder (SUD)” when taking kratom, even noting that, “In rare cases, deaths have been associated with kratom use, as confirmed by a medical examiner or toxicology reports,” the risk of addiction and side effects is not always adequately relayed on the products’ packaging, leading to lawsuits. 

Lawsuits involving inadequate warnings about the risks associated with kratom use or the potential for serious physical and psychological dependence seek to hold responsible parties accountable for their negligence and to ensure better regulation and safety standards for kratom products in the future. If you or a loved one became addicted to 7OHMZ kratom tablets you may be entitled to compensation.
