Another kratom seller halts sales in Missouri

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Another business that sells kratom has agreed to suspend sales in the state, Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway announced in a Wednsday afternoon press release.

The release says Relax Relief Rejuvenate Trading, LLC, also known as RRR, agreed to immediately stop selling 7-OH and “other kratom alkaloids.”

7-OH is a synthetic form of Kratom and has no age requirement to purchase it. The drugs are marketed without safety testing or regulatory approval, Hanaway has previously said.

The Kansas City business stopping its kratom sales within the state also ends a lawsuit the AG’s office had against it, the release says.

“This resolution is a win for Missouri families. 7-OH is a dangerous opioid that is infecting our communities,” Hanaway was quoted in the release. “These are addictive, unregulated, chemically synthesized compounds with unknown outputs. My office will continue to hold accountable bad actors who sell harmful drugs in Missouri.”

Last week, American Shaman agreed to stop selling kratom and 7-OH products.
