The CDC Report on "Unintentional Drug Overdose Deaths with
Kratom Detected" resulted in numerous media headlines that
incorrectly cited kratom's role in the reported deaths as being
"linked" to an overdose death when the CDC data actually disproves
the FDA assertions that kratom itself causes
deaths.
SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT: In a response to the CDC
Report, five leading researchers who have expertise in the science
or public policy on kratom, issued a reply to the CDC that
highlights the correct regulatory approach to protect
consumers.
