It launched the kava and kratom tonic category into mainstream convenience retail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo pieces of history you should have.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe class action. In re Botanic Tonics Litigation, 3:23-cv-01460-VC, Northern District of California. Filed March 2023, settled September 2024 for $8.75 million covering purchases from 28 March 2019 through 5 March 2025. Plaintiffs alleged the product was marketed as a safe, sober alternative to alcohol without disclosing kratom's dependency risk. Botanic Tonics denied wrongdoing. As part of the settlement they added the habit-forming warning now printed on every bottle, raised the minimum purchase age to 21, and revised the supplement facts panel to itemize alkaloids instead of using a proprietary blend line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe FDA seizure. In 2023 FDA and US Marshals seized over 250,000 units from the company's Oklahoma facility on the theory that kratom is an unapproved new dietary ingredient. No injunction issued and production continued. The government later filed a notice of dismissal without prejudice, closing the case.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUtah. Utah SB 45, effective 6 May 2026, bans kratom mixed or packed with a nonkratom substance. That directly outlaws this product in Utah. Botanic Tonics and others sued Utah officials in March 2026 arguing federal preemption. On 4 May 2026 the court denied their preliminary injunction. feel free CLASSIC is effectively off shelf in Utah. We block Utah at checkout for this SKU.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduct Origin. Botanic Tonics manufactures in an FDA-registered, cGMP facility and announced ISO\/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation for its in-house laboratory in May 2025.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey do not publish certificates of analysis. Their FAQ states that all ingredients and every batch of feel free products are lab-tested, including for heavy metals and contaminants. No documents accompany that statement, there is no batch lookup, and nothing is downloadable. We would rather tell you that than let the words lab tested do work they have not earned.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
