The Uncle Frog gummies were distributed by Oz Brands. The sole director of both companies, Rohan Bandil, said there were “many other brands selling similar products” and he had consulted widely about the product. The Uncle Frog company was registered in late 2023, listing Bandil as the sole director and Brisbane as the principal place of business. The company was deregistered on 12 June this year.

The gummies packaging encourages customers to “experience the multiverse”, claiming they are “infused with earth’s finest hemp” at “1,000mg per serve” – equal to one gram. The NSW chief health officer, Dr Kerry Chant, said the five patients taken to hospital in her state had experienced “myriad symptoms” but the common factor was the consumption of gummies.
