Unusual News - Mother Wins Settlement after Child Welfare took away her Baby because she ate Poppy Seeds in Pasta Dressing - AllGov - News: "Eileen Bower went into labor on July 12, 2009, and was taken to Jameson Health Systems in New Castle, where she provided a urine sample to medical staff. After the sample tested positive for an unlisted amount of morphine, the results were forwarded to the Lawrence County Children and Youth Services (LCCYS). Bower was later informed of her positive drug result, which was used by a LCCYS caseworker to remove the baby from her mother—even though the child tested negative for opiates.
Bower denied using any drugs, and claimed the Supreme Pasta dressing she ate before going into labor contained poppy seeds. Mother and child were kept apart for 75 days, and after being reunited, Bower sued LCCYS."
