Santa Ana, California-based Prophet Premium Blends is recalling all Diamond Shruumz Products, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. These products contain Muscimol, a chemical found in mushrooms of the genus Amanita.
All lots or best buy dates and all flavors of Diamond Shruumz Infused Cones, Chocolate Bars, and Gummies (Micro- and Mega/Extreme-Dose) are included in the recall.
The impacted products were distributed nationwide through retail stores and mail orders.
The agency noted that Muscimol could be a potential cause of symptoms consistent with those observed in persons who became ill after eating Diamond Shruumz products.
Reported symptoms include seizures, agitation, involuntary muscle contractions, loss of consciousness, confusion, sleepiness, nausea and vomiting, abnormal heart rates, and hyper/hypotension.
The recall was initiated after reports of 39 illnesses so far from states including AL, AZ, CA, CO, GA, IN, IA, KY, MD, MN, MO, MT NV, NJ, NY, NC, OH, PA, SC, TN.
To date, Prophet Premium Blends received two complaints on May 27, regarding consumers becoming ill after consuming the entire chocolate bar.
