Attorney General Hanaway Investigates Nine Additional Companies Over 7-OH Products
Summary
The Missouri Attorney General has expanded a statewide investigation into 7-OH and synthetic kratom products by issuing Civil Investigative Demands to nine additional companies and cease-and-desist orders to two named distributors, KC Distro and Karmic Genesis. The investigation covers products containing mitragynine pseudoindoxyl and MGM-15, which were added to Schedule I by DEA emergency order on August 26, 2026, with Missouri adopting that designation on September 25, 2026. The office has now issued 31 total CIDs to kratom manufacturers, distributors, and retailers, seeking records on alkaloid content, manufacturing, distribution, consumer complaints, and safety claims.
What this may mean
Named companies face immediate obligations to produce records on product composition, sourcing, testing, and consumer communications under the CIDs. KC Distro and Karmic Genesis received cease-and-desist orders requiring them to halt sales of 7-OH products. Exposure theories include violations of the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act and federal and state controlled substances law.
