The FDA has also expressed concern regarding highly concentrated kratom derivatives, including 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH), citing their increased potency and potential health risks.
While research continues, many lawsuits argue that consumers were never adequately informed about these risks before purchasing or using kratom products.

The value of each case depends on the severity of the injuries and the evidence supporting the claim.
