What health authorities report
The FDA warns consumers about serious adverse events associated with kratom, including liver toxicity. NIH’s LiverTox resource also reports that kratom has been linked to rare instances of clinically apparent acute liver injury. A diagnosis alone does not establish what caused an injury, and each person’s medical history and exposures must be evaluated.
Seek medical care immediately for possible liver-injury symptoms. This page is informational and is not medical advice.
Information a legal review may consider
- The product name, seller, form, lot number, label, and purchase date.

Preserve the product and timeline
Keep the container, remaining product, packaging, receipts, order emails, photographs, and bank or card statements. Do not alter or discard the product. Write a factual timeline while events are fresh, including treatment dates and the names of healthcare providers.
Does a liver diagnosis automatically create a claim?
No. Potential claims depend on facts such as medical causation, product identification, warnings, seller and manufacturer information, timing, jurisdiction, and applicable deadlines. A confidential review can help determine whether further investigation is appropriate.
