Kratom Products Have Seriously Injured — and Killed — People. Companies Are Now Being Sued.

The short version: Kratom products — sold under brand names like OPMS, MIT 45, Feel Free, and others — have been linked to liver failure, cardiac arrest, seizures, and death. The FDA issued formal warnings in July 2025. If you used kratom and ended up with serious organ damage or in the hospital, or if a family member died, you may be owed money. The case check is free.

This page explains who may qualify, what the cases are based on, and how to find out if your situation fits. If you want to skip straight to the form, it's at the bottom of this page.

What This Lawsuit Is About

Kratom is a plant-based substance sold in powder, capsule, drink, and gummy form at gas stations, vape shops, smoke shops, and online retailers across the country. Companies have marketed it as a natural supplement — a safe way to ease pain, boost energy, or manage stress.

That marketing never came with a real warning. What companies did not prominently tell buyers: kratom contains active compounds that act like opioids in the body. And a concentrated, chemically enhanced form called 7-hydroxymitragynine (often labeled “7-OH”) — found in brands like MIT 45, Feel Free, 7OHMZ, Press’d, Jubi, and Ultra Seven — can be up to 30 times more potent than morphine, according to FDA warning letters issued July 15, 2025.

On July 15, 2025, the FDA sent formal warning letters to seven companies for illegally marketing 7-OH products, stating that these products cannot lawfully be sold as dietary supplements or conventional foods. The agency had already received thousands of reports of serious harm. (FDA Warning Letters, July 15, 2025.)

The CDC linked kratom to 152 deaths between 2016 and 2017. In most of those cases, kratom was detected alongside other substances — but in others, it was the primary or only substance found. (CDC MMWR, November 2019.)

About 1.7 million Americans use kratom regularly, many of them unaware that certain products on the market operate more like synthetic opioids than like herbal supplements. (FDA, 2024.)

Lawsuits against kratom manufacturers and distributors argue that these companies knew — or should have known — about the serious health risks but sold their products anyway without adequate warnings. Brands named in injury and death cases include OPMS, MIT 45, Hush Kratom, Feel Free, Kratom Divine, Whole Herbs, Remarkable Herbs, KRATOMade, and Dr. Kratom, among others.

What Injuries May Qualify

We are accepting cases for people who used kratom or 7-OH products and suffered serious physical harm. We are not taking cases based on addiction or withdrawal alone. Below is a plain breakdown of what does and does not qualify.

To put it plainly: if the only problem you had with kratom was getting hooked on it, that alone is not enough for the cases we are accepting. We are looking for people who ended up in the hospital, had organ damage, or lost a family member. If that is your situation, fill out the form. A real person will review it.

What About the Filing Deadline?

Every state sets a time limit for filing a personal injury or wrongful death case. In most states, that window is two to four years from the date of injury or the date you learned the injury was caused by the product. Some states are shorter.

Here is what matters: the clock is already running. If you or a family member were hurt by kratom a year ago, you may have less than a year left to file. Once that window closes, you lose the right to recover — permanently, even if your case would have been strong.

The case check takes two minutes and costs nothing. If you are even considering it, do it now rather than later.

What Happens If You File

People often picture courts and lawyers and years of complicated paperwork. That is not usually how these cases go. Here is the real process:

Step 1 — The Free Case Check

You fill out the form on this page. It takes about two minutes. A real person on our intake team reviews it. If it looks like you may have a case, someone will reach out to you within about one week. If you don't hear back, it means we couldn't confirm a match — please contact another firm before your filing deadline.

Step 2 — A Short Screening Call

A team member follows up to fill in details: which product, how long you used it, what happened medically, what treatment you received. No pressure. No cost. If you're not a fit, they will tell you straight.

Step 3 — Signing Up Is Simple

If you move forward, you sign a straightforward agreement. It says you owe nothing unless your case wins or settles. If you win, a percentage goes to the law firm. The rest is yours.

Step 4 — The Law Firm Does the Work

Your case is filed. The attorneys handle everything. Most clients are not in a courtroom and do not have to travel. You get updates. When cases resolve, you receive your portion.

Common Questions

Do I need to keep the packaging or the product?

No. If you have the packaging or bottles, that can help, but most people don't hold on to them. Your medical records, a memory of what you bought, and where you bought it are enough to start. The law firm can help reconstruct the rest.

Does it cost anything?

No. The case check is free. If you sign up and the case does not recover money, you owe nothing. You only pay a percentage if there is a recovery. Nothing comes out of pocket.

What if my family member died from kratom?

Family members may be able to file a wrongful death case. This includes spouses, parents, and children of someone who died after using a kratom product. Fill out the form and explain what happened — someone will follow up to review whether a case can be brought on your behalf.

I got addicted to kratom — does that count?

Not for the cases we are accepting. We are focused on people who suffered serious physical harm beyond addiction — things like liver damage, a heart event, seizures, or death. If addiction was the only consequence, we are not the right fit. But if it led to a physical medical emergency or hospitalization, fill out the form and let us review it.

I live outside Florida — can I still file?

Yes. These cases are being filed across the country. Where you live does not prevent you from submitting a case for review.

Ready to Check If You Qualify?

If you don't hear back within a week, please contact another law firm. Filing deadlines are real and, once passed, cannot be undone.
