7-Hydroxymitragynine 7-OH Injury Lawsuits
What is 7-OH
Synthetic 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) is a powerful chemical compound that is often sold alongside raw leaf kratom and other kratom extract products. Research shows that 7-OH is highly addictive, dangerously potent, easily accessible, and presents a significant risk for abuse.
7-OH was first discovered in 1994 as one of the many naturally occurring alkaloids in Mitragyna speciosa (kratom). It is now sold as an individual product in a more highly concentrated and synthetic form than raw leaf kratom and other kratom extract products.
The deadly risks of 7-OH
7-OH products often do not have clear labeling, dosage instructions, or warnings on the packaging, leaving consumers unaware of their potential danger. In addition, 7-OH pills and extracts are highly concentrated and synthetically created or enhanced, increasing the likelihood of overdose or death.
7-OH dangers: addictive, unregulated, and a serious public health risk
The synthetic compounds in this drug are untested and potentially unsafe, much like kratom. The abuse of kratom and its alkaloids is increasing in the United States, and the FDA is clear that they have not approved these products for any medical uses.
7-OH has morphine-like effect on opioid receptors
Scientists have compared the addictive properties of 7-OH to powerful opioids like morphine. Similar to morphine, 7-OH acts on the user’s opioid receptors, and there is a high likelihood of abuse and addiction for 7-OH users. 7-OH products sold in gas stations and head shops today can be described as:
- Addictive
- Highly potent and concentrated
- Virtually untested on humans or animals
- A public health risk

When I say “they went to bat” for me…this Law Firm literally did just that. They persevered to bring the hard-nosed Manufacturer to settle and provide me some recompense for everything I had to endure which led to this suit.
