Summary

  • 7OHMZ products contain a concentrated alkaloid found in kratom
  • 7OHMZ failed to warn about the link between these products and addiction

The use of a plant-derived substance named kratom has increased in the past few years. To take advantage of the active alkaloid it contains, companies have begun creating concentrated versions. These have been leading to kratom lawsuits. One of the companies being sued now is 7OHMZ, which is part of Thang Botanicals, Inc.

What 7OHMZ Products Are

7OHMZ lawsuits are focused on the products the company sells that contain concentrated 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) derived from kratom. This is an active alkaloid that has been marketed as offering pain relief, energy and a mood boost.

These products have not offered warnings about the kratom side effects people could experience.

Most of the products that are part of the 7OHMZ lawsuits are pressed tablets and other oral formats. These are sold both online and at various stores throughout the country.

The 7OHMZ Class Action Lawsuit

The 7OHMZ class action lawsuit alleges that Thang Botanicals did not warn consumers of the high risk of developing a substance use disorder from 7-OH products. 7-OH binds to opioid receptors similarly to the way heroin and fentanyl do, making addiction highly likely.

The lawsuit also alleges that 7OHMZ engaged in deceptive advertising and marketing strategies. The company marketed the products as natural and safe when they were anything but.

FDA Warning Letter to Thang Botanicals

The FDA sent a warning letter to Thang Botanicals, letting them know that 7-OH is an unapproved and illegal ingredient and that it cannot be marketed as a dietary supplement or as a food.

Why 7-OH Is Stronger Than Kratom

7-OH is made from the alkaloid present in the kratom leaf. It is isolated and concentrated, making it very easy for it to bind with opioid receptors. The amount of the alkaloid in 7-OH rivals pharmaceutical-grade opioids.

Addiction and Withdrawal Reports

Any substance that binds with opioid receptors and provides pain relief and euphoria can end up causing an addiction. Over time, your body starts becoming less sensitive to the effects while simultaneously experiencing withdrawal symptoms if you don’t take the substance. Dependence and withdrawal symptoms are signs of an addiction.

Other Health Risks Tied to 7-OH

7-OH can lead to respiratory depression and seizures. Organ toxicity has also been reported, especially involving the liver and kidneys.

Cardiac issues are also a concern because the substance triggers irregular heart rates and high blood pressure. Additionally, 7-OH can cause gastrointestinal distress that leads to severe nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.
