A significant number of individuals have fallen ill after consuming Diamond Shruumz brand edibles, leading to the FDA issuing a comprehensive list of stores and online outlets that sell these products. As of July 29, a total of 78 illnesses have been reported across 28 states, with 65 people seeking medical care, 40 requiring hospitalization, and two deaths currently under investigation.
Despite a recall initiated by the company, the FDA has discovered that Diamond Shruumz edibles are still available in some locations. The implicated products include chocolate bars, gummies, and cones, which have been found to contain harmful chemicals derived from mushrooms. These findings prompted the FDA to list specific retailers and online sellers still distributing these items.
Symptoms reported by affected individuals are severe and varied, ranging from respiratory failure and seizures to confusion and abnormal heart rates. This wide range of symptoms underscores the serious health risks posed by the consumption of these edibles. The FDA emphasizes that these products, which are also sold at stores retailing hemp-derived and vape products, should be avoided.
Prophet Premium Blends, the manufacturer, initially hesitated but eventually recalled all flavors of Diamond Shruumz edibles.
The FDA, alongside organizations like the National Association of Convenience Stores and the National Smoke Shop Association, is actively working to raise awareness about the recall. Consumers are strongly advised not to purchase or consume any products under this brand and to report any retailers continuing to sell them.
Consumers should inspect their homes for any recalled products and dispose of them immediately. If anyone experiences adverse effects after consuming these edibles, they are urged to seek medical attention, especially if they experience difficulty breathing.
Reports of adverse reactions or sightings of the products for sale can be made to the FDA through various channels, including calling a Consumer Complaint Coordinator or submitting a MedWatch form online or by mail.
