W.Va. AG gets Injunction Against Georgia 'Bath Salts' Company

CHARLESTON (AP) -

A Georgia company that makes bath salts and other synthetic drug chemicals is temporarily banned from selling or advertising them in West Virginia.

Attorney General Darrell McGraw announced Thursday that a judge had granted a preliminary injunction banning Nutragenomics Manufacturing LLC of Alpharetta, Ga., from doing business in the state.

McGraw sued the company in April, claiming it was a "''significant distributor" of ingredients used to make drugs known as bath salts and synthetic marijuana, among other things.

The injunction requires the company to prominently place a notice on its website that it is banned from selling to West Virginia customers. It also must provide a database of all its customers from West Virginia from Jan. 1, 2008, to the present and the amount of products they ordered.
