BISMARCK – North Dakota Health and Human Services (HHS) warns North Dakotans about recalled Diamond Shruumz products, advising North Dakotans they should not eat, sell, or serve the products.

HHS, together with the poison control center, has identified a death in the state that could potentially be associated to Diamond Shruumz brand products. The exact cause has not been verified at this time.

According to the CDC, as of July 2, 48 illnesses have been reported in 24 states, including one in North Dakota. Forty-six of the 48 people reported seeking medical care, and 27 have been hospitalized.

Symptoms have included seizures, loss of consciousness, confusion, sleepiness, abnormal heart rates, high or low blood pressure, nausea and vomiting.

On June 28, the FDA announced a company recall involving Prophet Premium Blends Diamond Shruumz chocolate bars, cones, gummies and related products; however, many stores that sell these items are not licensed and regulated by the state. Products may still be available to buy online and through retailers that sell hemp-derived and smoking and vaping products.
