Everything You Need to Know about the Poppy Seed Tea Lawsuit

Poppy seed tea lawsuits are now currently being initiated claiming companies knew that ingesting unwashed poppy seeds could have lethal effects, yet, despite this knowledge, continued sales without so much as even a safety warning.

​Even worse, it has been alleged that some sellers continue to aggressively market these products, including by providing recipes on how to make poppy seed tea for pain and/or anxiety relief, despite worldwide reports of people dying from these drinks.

It will also include your claims against the defendants (i.e., the companies or individuals being sued) and why they should be held legally accountable for the injury or death.

• Knew or had reason to know the seeds were unfit for human consumption and contained potentially fatal levels of opiate alkaloids, such as morphine and codeine
