Susan Horton’s baby was taken away—just hours after birth—all because she ate a poppy seed salad. Kaiser Permanente tested her for drugs without consent, leading to a false positive for opioids. Weeks of separation, court hearings, and trauma followed before a judge dismissed the case.

False positives like this aren’t rare. Urine drug tests can have up to a 50% false positive rate, especially from everyday foods or safe medications. Meanwhile, vague policies and unconscious bias mean low-income women—especially women of color—are unfairly targeted.

Sign the petition now to demand CEO Greg A. Adams ends this cruel, broken system. Sign now to protect mothers, babies, and basic dignity.
