Kratom class action

SAN DIEGO — A federal court in California partially tossed class claims of false advertising and product liability against Ashlynn Marketing Group, which allegedly did not properly warn consumers that their kratom capsules and powders can be addictive. Variances across state laws keep the consumers from continuing with a nationwide class, but the California claims may proceed. Evidence on the record suggests the company violated their duty to consumers by not properly warning them of kratom’s addictive properties.
