Missouri kratom seller agrees to halt sales after legal battle with state attorney general

June 4, 2026 by Maria Santiago Leave a Comment

Missouri’s largest distributor of kratom products has agreed to stop selling the controversial substances in the state, marking a significant victory for Attorney General Catherine Hanaway and potentially signaling a tougher approach to regulating psychoactive products in Missouri.

The Missouri Independent reported that Kansas City-based CBD American Shaman has agreed to immediately suspend all Missouri sales of kratom and 7-OH products as part of a settlement that ends litigation brought by Hanaway earlier this year.

The agreement follows a closely watched legal dispute that South County Mail previously reported on, when a Jackson County judge declined to immediately halt sales while the case proceeded through the courts.

House Bill 2366, sponsored by State Rep. Jeff Vernetti, was approved during the final weeks of the legislative session and now awaits action from Gov. Mike Kehoe.

Supporters say the measure is aimed at businesses that deliberately circumvent labor laws and gain unfair competitive advantages by employing unauthorized workers outside legal hiring systems.
