US EditionCBD Kratom Statement Regarding Civil Investigative Demand Issued November 20, 2025
Missouri AG targets six companies with subpoenas over unapproved 7-OH and kratom products marketed as supplements posing opioid-like risks to consumers.
- On Nov. 20, Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway announced a statewide investigation and issued six Civil Investigative Demands to companies selling kratom in St. Louis City/County and Kansas City.
- After reports of consumer harm, the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services warned last month that some `natural supplements` contain opioid-like 7-hydroxymitragynine, prompting the investigation.
- The CIDs demand manufacturing, labeling and marketing records, including ingredient lists, safety claims, dosage guidance and complaints for 7-OH products sold in smoke shops, gas stations and online.
- Hanaway signaled that companies misleading consumers will face accountability and urged complaint filings, while CBD Kratom said Friday it will cooperate but called the probe `unusually broad`.
- No kratom product has FDA approval, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration sent warning letters to six manufacturers while officials flagged excessive 7-OH levels in many products.
