Perhaps because kava is considered an herbal remedy, many people did not think there was any necessity for a kava warning-herbal supplements are often considered harmless, even with recent evidence to the contrary. Due to the increasing number of reports of health problems attributed to the use of kava products, many governments are now issuing kava warnings.

The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) joined a number of European governments in issuing a kava warning to consumers. Although the FDA has limited options when it comes to dietary supplements such as kava, the issuance of a kava warning indicates that they have received and confirmed reports linking kava use to such side effects as liver failure, cirrhosis, hepatitis, and other medical problems. The FDA kava warning advises users to consult a physician about the use of kava for anxiety. Additional information in the kava warning explains that the adverse effects are more likely for those persons already in a high-risk category for liver problems.

In many countries, manufacturers and distributors have been required by government officials to include kava warnings on all packaging and advertising, and some countries have banned the supplement outright. Kava warnings may appear on products sold in America in the near future, should the FDA gather enough information confirming the high levels of risk associated with kava use.

The absence of a kava warning may lead some consumers to believe that the supplement is safe for use. If a kava warning is required, due to the high risks associated with the supplement, consumers who have been harmed in the absence of a kava warning may be entitled to compensation from the manufacturers/distributors.
