Overview

Washington State Department of Health is working with local and federal public health partners to investigate a reported case of serious illness and hospitalization linked to recent consumption of Diamond ShruumzTM-brand infused products.

Due to illnesses reported in multiple states, Diamond ShruumzTM-brand infused products were recalled on June 27, 2024. The recall includes all flavors and all styles of Diamond ShruumzTM-Infused Cones, Chocolate Bars, and Gummies (Micro- and Mega/Extreme-Dose).
