In an intriguing legal development, Botanic Tonics, LLC, the producer of Feel Free Wellness Tonic with kratom, has agreed to an $8.75 million settlement following a class action lawsuit. The suit was brought about due to allegations that the company failed to sufficiently inform consumers about the potential health risks associated with its kratom-infused product. This assertion included the claim that the company marketed and sold these beverages without explicitly outlining the potential adverse effects to buyers. Kratom, a popular herbal substance often promoted as a dietary supplement, is known to boost energy, elevate mood, relieve pain, and potentially assist with opioid withdrawal symptoms. However, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved kratom for any medical use and has voiced concerns about its safety. As for Botanic Tonics, while they deny any wrongdoing, the decision to settle is likely a strategic move to avoid the high costs and uncertainties surrounding court proceedings.
