Recalled Diamond Shruumz edibles now linked to two possible deaths and cases in 28 states
View Date:2024-12-24 20:58:07
Health officials are investigating a possible second death linked to a brand of recalled microdosing mushroom-infused edibles.
Since the Food and Drug Administration's initial June warning about Diamond Shruumz-brand Microdosing Chocolate Bars – and some users having bad reactions including seizures and vomiting – the agency has tracked 74 cases in 28 states.
Of those cases, 62 have sought medical care and 38 have been hospitalized, the FDA said. Two deaths potentially associated with the products are under investigation, the FDA and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Tuesday.
The FDA, which has issued multiple alerts about the product, expanded its warnings to include Diamond Shruumz Infused Cones, Micro-Dose, and Mega-Dose/Extreme Gummies. The manufacturer, Prophet Premium Blends of Santa Ana, California, recalled the products on June 28.
However, as of July 16, the FDA said some products were still on some shelves at smoke and vape shops and other stores that sell cannabidiol (CBD) and delta-8 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) products.
Those who have gotten ill after eating Diamond Shruumz-brand products have reported severe symptoms including loss of consciousness, confusion, sleepiness, agitation, abnormal heart rates, and blood pressure fluctuations, the FDA says.

Mushroom edible maker recalls products
Prophet Premium Blends, which recalled its cones, chocolate bars and gummies last month, said muscimol, a substance found in Amanita mushrooms – and an ingredient in the products – could be a potential cause of symptoms. Additional symptoms reported include involuntary muscle contractions and nausea, the company said.
Consumers should not use the product and instead destroy it and contact Prophet Premium Blends for a refund: call (209) 314-0881 or email [email protected] with their order number.
Anyone who thinks they may have symptoms from consuming any Diamond Shruumz products should also report their case to the Poison Help Line at 1-800-222-1222, the CDC said.
