Federal authorities investigating the deaths of two University of Mississippi students have charged a store clerk and his son with selling an illegal kratom product.
Found in a variety of products, the supplement known as kratom is currently banned in six states and Washington, D.C., as it faces scrutiny over addiction concerns.
Jasmine Adeoye, an account manager based in Austin, Texas, said she became addicted to kratom drink "Feel Free Classic," after she sought an alcohol alternative.
