The media has widely mis-reported speculation of bath salts being the cause of incidents have later been shown to have no connection to bath salts, with stories bearing "[a]ll the hallmarks of poorly reported trend pieces...: attributing remarks to nameless 'authorities,' reporting on 'might have beens' as if they are definite fact."[1]
On 26 May 2012 the attacker in the Wikipedia:Miami cannibal attack was widely reported to be under the influence of bath salts, leading to widespread media interest in the substance.[2] Soon after the attack, police officers said he exhibited "classic signs of someone high on the drug".[2] Later toxicology reports could not find any of the common components of bath salts and only traces of marijuana were found.[2]
