The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is investigating a series of illnesses associated with the products, which are labeled as containing a proprietary blend of mushrooms, including reishi and lion’s mane.
Diamond Shruumz products can be purchased online or at a variety of retail locations nationwide, including smoke and vape shops or places that sell hemp-derived or CBD products. The impacted products were distributed to stores in New Hampshire.
Retailers should not sell or distribute any of these products. Instead, please hold all Diamond Shruumz products until the FDA provides further direction on how to dispose of or safely return them.
“As people in multiple states have become ill with a variety of severe symptoms after eating these products, we are advising Granite Staters to avoid consuming them,” said Iain Watt, DPHS Director. “We will continue to monitor information from our federal partners about this ongoing investigation.”
Since May 28, 2024, the FDA has received a total of 39 illness complaints associated with consuming certain Diamond Shruumz products.
