The Federal Drug Administration (FDA) recalled Diamond Shruumz edibles, which are now linked to 113 cases of illness and possibly two deaths.

The reported incidents happened across 28 states and left 42 people hospitalized. People who consumed the mushroom edibles said they experienced symptoms that included seizures, loss of consciousness, confusion, agitation, abnormal heart rates, hyper/hypotension, nausea, and vomiting.

The California company, Prophet Premium Blends, LLC announced a recall in June of all Diamond Shruumz products because they contain a psychoactive chemical called muscimol that may be connected to the illnesses, according to the FDA.
