Tamarack Inc. dof Utah is voluntarily recalling Eclipse Kratom-containing powder products because they may be contaminated with Salmonella bacteria. No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this recalled product, but there is an ongoing Salmonella outbreak in the United States that is linked to products that reportedly contain kratom.
The recalled product is Eclipse Kratom, packaged in plastic heat sealed pouches or plastic sealed bottles sold in one gram capsules and powder. The 120 units that are under recall were sold directly to five retailers in Utah.
This recall was initiated after Tamarack Inc. was notified of a positive Salmonella test result by the FDA. Tamarack has identified the supplier and source of the contaminated product and has stopped production and distribution until the investigation is completed.
If you purchased this product, don’t consume it. Throw it away in a double wrapped or sealed package and put it into a secure garbage can. You can also return the product to the store where you purchased it for a full refund.
The symptoms of Salmonella food poisoning include fever, diarrhea that may be bloody, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. This infection can be serious and is sometimes fatal, especially in people with compromised immune systems or chronic illnesses, the elderly, and the very young. And even if patients recover from this infection completely, long term health consequences can be serious, including arthritis, endocarditis, and infected aneurysms. If you have consumed this product and have been experiencing those symptoms, see your doctor as soon as possible.
