Pennsylvania SB233 aims to protect consumers by banning unsafe kratom products and prohibiting sales to individuals under 21.

Pennsylvania SB233, the Kratom Consumer Protection Act, prohibits the preparation, manufacture, sale, or distribution of unsafe kratom products and bans sales to individuals younger than 21. The bill defines unsafe kratom products as those mixed with nonkratom substances, containing poisonous ingredients, or exceeding solvent levels. The Department of Health is tasked with enforcing these provisions, including imposing fines on violators. Retailers can avoid fines if they acted in good faith, relying on processors.
