Health officials are alerting Michigan residents that a brand of microdosing edibles has been recalled after dozens of people have gotten sick across the country and one death is under investigation.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration in coordination with Michigan health officials issued a recall of all Diamond Shruumz products including chocolate bars, gummies and ice cream cone-shaped candies. All Michiganders are urged to stop eating, serving or selling any Diamond Shruumz products and should instead throw them away.
The recall comes after people have reported various severe symptoms including seizures, central nervous system depression with loss of consciousness, confusion, sleepiness, agitation, abnormal heart rates, hypertension, hypotension, nausea and vomiting. There have been 27 hospitalizations, and one death is “potentially associated” to the edibles.
A total of 48 cases have been reported in 24 states. There have been no cases in Michigan.
