WHATCOM COUNTY, Wash. — The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), America’s Poison Centers and state and local partners are investigating reports of severe acute illnesses potentially associated with consuming Diamond ShruumzTM brand chocolate bars, cones, and gummies marketed as containing a proprietary blend of mushroom.
These products can be purchased online and in person at a variety of retail locations nationwide including smoke/vape shops, and at retailers that sell hemp-derived products such as cannabidiol (CBD) or delta-8 tetrahydrocannabinol (delta-8 THC).
People who became ill after eating Diamond Shruumz-brand products reported a variety of severe symptoms including the following.
- seizures
- central nervous system depression (loss of consciousness, confusion, sleepiness)
- agitation
- abnormal heart rates
- hyper/hypotension
- nausea
- vomiting
As of June 11th, 12 total illnesses with 10 hospitalized, have been reported in 8 states (AL, AZ, IN, KY, MO, NV, PA, SC) with ongoing efforts to identify other potential cases. No deaths have been reported. The cause of the reported illnesses is not known at this time.
The current recommendation is that people not eat, sell, or serve any flavors of Diamond ShruumzTM brand chocolate bars, cones, or gummies and should discard products that have been purchased. CDC and FDA are working to determine whether other products from this company are associated with adverse health effects.
