The popular herbal remedy kava, commonly used to treat stress and anxiety, has been banned in the UK by the Medicines Control Agency (MCA) following concerns that it can lead to liver poisoning. The UK previously issued a voluntary ban of the herb earlier this year.
Other countries have also taken action over kava products. In the EU all licensed kava products have been removed from the market while in Canada, investigations have concluded that there is insufficient evidence to support the products' safety and they have also been withdrawn from the market. In Australia products have been voluntarily removed from the market while an investigation is conducted and in the USA consumers have been warned of the risk of liver toxicity pending the outcome of an investigation by the FDA.
