Two mothers from New Jersey have claimed in a new lawsuit that eating poppy seed bagels resulted in a false positive drug test, which led them to be reported for possible neglect or abuse of their child just days after giving birth. The women also alleged that the drug tests were performed without their consent.
In the separate complaints filed last week by the American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey (ACLU-NJ), the two women alleged that the New Jersey hospitals in which they gave birth had violated their rights by drug testing them without their knowledge or consent. According to the New Jersey Monitor, the tests resulted in false positives that prompted both hospitals to alert child welfare authorities.
