Reason For Recall: Toxic Levels of Muscimol
According to the FDA, the recalled products have "toxic" levels of muscimol. This has caused a wide range of dangerous symptoms.
"Muscimol could be a potential cause of symptoms consistent with those observed in persons who became ill after eating Diamond Shruumz products. Reported symptoms have included those linked to seizures, agitation, involuntary muscle contractions, loss of consciousness, confusion, sleepiness, nausea and vomiting, abnormal heart rates, and hyper/hypotension," the FDA states.

The company has stopped production and distribution of the recalled items. Retailers and wholesalers "should discontinue use, stop distribution, quarantine the product immediately," the FDA warns.
