At low doses, it causes a stimulant effect similar to coffee. At higher doses, kratom can produce an opioid-like and euphoric state that has led to a steady growth of abuse worldwide, according to the federal Drug Enforcement Administration.
Krystal Talavera's fiancé woke to find her lying face down on the floor of their living room on June 20, 2021. A cup of coffee and an open packet of kratom, the supplement medical examiners would later point to as her cause of death, lay on the ground beside her body.
In a suit filed Nov. 4, Talavera's family accuse Grow LLC, the Idaho-based manufacturer that sold her the kratom, of knowing its customers were at risk of addiction, overdose and death but doing little to warn against the danger.“Krystal Talavera's family and all the other loved ones torn apart by kratom deserve justice,” said Tamara Williams, an attorney representing Talavera's family, in a prepared statement.
A two-week jury trial is scheduled to begin July 31 under U.S. Magistrate Judge Donald Middlebrooks. If the suit isn't settled or dropped before then, jurors will decide whether Sean Harder and his company Grow LLC are responsible for Talavera's death.What is kratom?
