LINCOLN, Nebraska (KOLN) – The Nebraska Attorney General’s Office is issuing an alert to retailers and consumers regarding the Food and Drug Administration’s recall of Diamond Shruumz products.
The FDA has recalled all Diamond Shruumz Microdosing Chocolate Bars, Infused Cones, and Micro-Dose and Mega-Dose/Extreme Gummies. Prophet Premium Blends, the product manufacturer and brand owner, is cooperating with the ordered recall.
The Nebraska Attorney General’s Office has informed local companies of their obligation to comply with the recall and inform the public about it.
In June, the FDA and CDC, in collaboration with U.S. Poison Control Centers and state and local partners, investigated a number of illnesses associated with consumption of Diamond Shruumz brand chocolate bars, wafers, and gummy bears.
