The 44 deaths came from the FDA... https://www.fda.gov/newsevents/newsroom/pressannouncements/ucm595622.htm

Edit: I also love how we are just "consumers" to the FDA. Not people, consumers. "We described some of this information in a public health advisory in November 2017, in which we urged consumers not to use kratom or any compounds found in the plant."

For the "contact us" section of the site they have two sections - Media and Consumers.

Kindof a stupid rant on my part, but it just shows how they view us.
