All flavors of Diamond Shruumz products have been recalled. they include microdosing chocolate bars, infused cones, and microcode and megadose/extreme gummies.
Symptoms of people who are sick include seizures, central nervous system depression (loss of consciousness, confusion, sleepiness), agitation, abnormal heart rates, hyper/hypotension, nausea, and vomiting. The government did find muscimol, a compound found in the Amanita mushroom, in these products. Muscimol may be the cause of the symptoms in this outbreak because it is classified as an acute toxic compound.
These products were sold online and in person at retail locations nationwide including smoke and vape shops, and at retailers that sell hemp-derived products such as cannabidiol or delta-8 tetrahydrocannabinol.
