Customers who purchased a particular brand of mushroom candies are being advised to avoid consuming the treats after dozens of people across several states fell ill. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has since given the product the highest risk classification that they issue, citing that there is a "reasonable probability" that the product could cause severe health issues, including death.
In a July 2024 update, the candy company, which is owned by parent company Prophet Premium Blends, has stopped production of all products, according to a statement on its website . Diamond Shruumz plans to continue to hold off on any new orders until it has figured out how its candies came to have higher than normal levels of the psychoactive compound.
The FDA says that some of the side effects people have experienced include agitation, muscle contractions, sleepiness, nausea and vomiting, seizures, confusion, abnormal heart rates, and more.
As of July 29, 2024, of the 78 people who have reported symptoms, 40 required hospitalizations. Two deaths are being investigated as part of the recall , highlighting just how high the risks are.
