FDA and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency issued a warning to consumers not to eat a poisonous flowering perennial plant known as Aconitum carmichaelii “Arendsii,” commonly called autumn monkshood.

A Canadian nursery distributed the plants with incorrect labels to nurseries in at least British Columbia, Washington State, and Idaho.
