What Is The CBD American Shaman Lawsuit? (2026)

Why Missouri Sued CBD American Shaman

The state of Missouri has sued CBD American Shaman for illegally manufacturing, marketing and selling 7-OH products without warning the consumer of the risk of addiction. These are the same allegations that prompted the 7OHMZ and 7Tabz lawsuits.

Marketing and Labeling Allegations

In the CBD American Shaman lawsuit, the state alleges that the company marketed the substance as safe and natural. The reality is that 7-OH is a dangerous opioid that causes addiction and can put consumers at serious health risk.

Additionally, the state alleges that the products’ labels did not match the actual chemical composition and potency consumers would be getting.

What 7-OH Is and Why It Is Dangerous

7-hydroxymitragynine is an active alkaloid found in the kratom plant. Naturally, the plant contains only a small amount of this substance. Companies such as CBD American Shaman have isolated the alkaloid and concentrated it to offer more potent products.

7-OH binds to opioid receptors, providing similar results to what you would get from heroin or other opioids. Addiction can quickly follow. You can build tolerance rapidly, too, leading you to take more of the substance. This puts you at risk of respiratory failure and cardiac arrest.

The Advanced Alkaloids Recall

In February 2026, Shaman Botanicals, LLC, issued a voluntary recall for one lot of its Alkaloids Chewable Tablets for having a much higher content of 7-OH than advertised. These tablets were sold under the CBD American Shaman line of “Advanced Alkaloids.”

FDA Warnings and Federal Seizures

The FDA has issued numerous warnings against the company’s products. A federal seizure took place in 2025, when the FDA and the Justice Department raided warehouses owned by the company. The authorities seized about 8,000 bottles and packages of 7-OH tablets and liquid shots.

Reported Injuries and Deaths

CBD American Shaman is facing numerous lawsuits and federal investigations regarding injuries and potential fatalities linked to 7-OH products that are part of its “Advanced Alkaloids.”

There have been numerous hospitalizations for severe injuries as a result of these products, as well as customers throughout the country who have developed opioid addictions.

Legal Options for Injured Consumers

People who have sustained physical, psychological or financial injuries as a result of misleading marketing regarding 7-OH products could be entitled to begin personal injury claims against the manufacturers.
