🚨 Time is running out to protect New York’s young people. 🚨

Right now, Governor Hochul has a critical decision to make.

The Kratom Safety Bill (S.4552-A / A.2340-A) is sitting on her desk, and she has until December 19 to sign it into law. Without action, kratom will remain unregulated, leaving young people exposed to serious health risks.

This common-sense bill would:
✔️ Ban kratom sales to anyone under 21
✔️ Require clear warning labels on all products
✔️ Prohibit misleading marketing like “all natural”
✔️ Hold retailers accountable when laws are broken

Kratom can mimic opioid effects and has been linked to seizures, liver damage, respiratory distress, and even death. Unregulated products—especially high-potency or mislabeled ones—put young people at heightened risk.

📣 Your voice matters. Help protect New Yorkers and keep families safe.

👉 Tell Governor Hochul to sign the Kratom Safety Bill today.

Thank you for taking action to protect our communities.

Our VP of State Policy, Leah Kaufman, testified before the Kansas Board of Pharmacy recently, emphasizing the need to put safety, regulation, and science at the center of decisions about kratom.

She called on Kansas to act now to prevent youth access and protect communities from unregulated opioid-like substances.

The Ohio House just passed SB 56 — a meaningful step for youth safety and responsible product regulation.

SB 56:
• Prohibits ma*****na products designed to mimic candy or snacks
• Strengthens packaging and advertising rules
• Ensures products are tested, labeled clearly, and sold responsibly

Shatterproof has been advocating for clear, science-backed standards that put families first and help people navigate the marketplace with confidence. SB 56 reflects that approach — strengthening transparency and moving Ohio toward a safer, more accountable system.

We’re encouraged by this momentum. SB 56 now heads to the Governor for signature, and we extend our deepest gratitude to House Speaker Senator Matt Huffman, Senate President Senator Rob McColley, Senator Stephen Huffman, Brian Stewart, State Representative, and Governor Mike DeWineine for their leadership and commitment to advancing this critical legislation.

Addiction doesn’t always look like what people expect — and too often, it’s hidden in plain sight at work.

In this Business Insider interview, Shatterproof’s Nicole Fox shares why “high-functioning” addiction is so often overlooked, how stigma prevents employees from seeking treatment, and the simple steps workplaces can take to support their teams with compassion.

Every employee deserves safety, understanding, and access to care.

Around the world, people are redefining what celebration looks like — choosing presence, community, and substance-free fun. These are the kinds of environments that help all of us feel supported. 💫

With alcohol consumption declining globally, a growing number of events are looking to provide a “nightlife-style” experience for those who don’t want to drink, but still want to party.

The SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Reauthorization Act of 2025 has officially been signed into law — a milestone that Shatterproof has worked toward for years alongside families, partners, and policymakers.

The law reinforces what families and communities rely on every day: expanded youth prevention efforts; evidence-based resources for parents and caregivers; a stronger treatment and peer workforce; lifesaving tools like naloxone for first responders; and strengthened housing and community-based recovery supports.

Shatterproof will continue working with federal and state partners to ensure these investments lead to real impact in prevention, treatment quality, youth education, and family support.

Full release:

As this law is implemented, Shatterproof will continue to support federal and state partners to ensure these funds translate into real impact — especially in prevention, treatment quality, youth education, and family supports.
