A Canadian nursery distributed the plants with incorrect labels to nurseries in at least British Columbia, Washington State, and Idaho. The packages contain the statement “All parts of this plant are tasty in soup” rather than warning that all parts of the plant are poisonous. The plants are packaged in blue plastic pots and shipped in flats of 8 or 16.
