The FDA’s most recent mistaken and misguided Safety Alert which warns consumers to not use OPMS Black Liquid Kratom is clearly an unfortunate repeat of the exact mistakes that former HHS Assistant Secretary of Health, Dr. Brett Giroir, previously condemned when he correctly noted that the FDA has been relying upon “embarrassingly poor evidence and data” on kratom.
The American Kratom Association (AKA) calls upon the FDA Commissioner, Robert Califf, to immediately remove the July 26, 2024, consumer warning statement regarding OPMS Black Liquid Kratom until the Agency has independently verified the alleged claims regarding the death that they have not conclusively proven to be attributed to this product.
