AI Summary
This bill amends the Virginia Consumer Protection Act to establish new prohibited practices related to kratom products, which are substances derived from the Mitragyna speciosa plant. Specifically, it prohibits selling kratom products to individuals under 21 years of age, selling products without a label listing all ingredients and a warning statement about potential dependence, withdrawal, and impairment, and selling products not stored securely away from direct consumer access, with exceptions for refrigerated items. The bill also bans kratom products containing synthetic materials or specific levels of 7-hydroxymitragynine, those adulterated with dangerous substances or controlled substances, products intended for combustion, vaporization, or injection, products marketed in a way that appeals to children, and kratom extract products with excessive residual solvent levels.
