Can you do anything legal in KY for not being hired due to a false positive drug test?
When pre-employment drug screens are done and a positive test result occurs, the lab automatically does a second test from the sample provided by the person to rule out a possible “false positive”. If the second test also comes back positive, then the employer is notified as such & you don’t get hired. If you are 110% sure that you had NOTHING in your system that would cause the test to come back as positive, then contact the company’s HR Dept and ask them what your options are to contest the results. And eating a muffin, bagel or sandwich that has poppy seeds on it will not cause the test to pop a false positive. The amount of poppy seeds coating the bread versus the amount required to register- you would be sick from overeating before that occured.
