The U.S. Department of Justice announced on Tuesday that three warehouses in the Kansas City metro had thousands of illegal products containing 7-hydroxymitragine (7-OH) seized as part of a government operation.

According to a news release, the Justice Department, alongside the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), seized roughly 73,000 “units” of illegal products containing 7-OH at several warehouses run by two companies in the Kansas City area.

Products containing concentrated 7-OH are considered illegal under federal law because the FDA has determined there is inadequate information to assure they do not present a significant risk of injury or illness

The government alleged that the two local firms had previously received warnings that the distribution of 7-OH products was illegal under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act; however, the firms continued to sell the products.
