If you've received a mysterious package of seeds in the mail lately, don't plant them

Several states are issuing warnings after residents across the nation have reported receiving unsolicited packages that appear to have originated in China. The packages typically have Chinese characters on the label and contain a sealed packet of unknown seeds that some state agriculture departments say could be invasive plant species.

Departments also cautioned people not to open the sealed packages of seeds and to keep the labeling intact so that officials could investigate.Utah resident Lori Culley is one of the people who received a package of seeds, according to CNN affiiliate KSTU. She told the news station that though"most of the writing on the outside was in Chinese," the package label indicated that it contained jewelry.

Mysterious seeds from China keep whispering, 'Feed me Seymour.'

We're in the middle of a pandemic God forbid we plant a garden with some gifted SeedsFromChina

Amazon TexasDeptofAg. I ordered seeds on Amazon. Several of my orders came from China. Amazon shouldn’t be allowing these transactions. Other seeds I ordered came from legitimate sources. Also, emailed Texas Department of Agriculture with no response.

Planted mine. Overnight a beanstalk appeared! So big the top is obscured by a cloud

I’ll just plant them in my own yard. If I don’t like the tomatoes or whatever they are, I’ll chop it all up and compost it.

Russian seeds made to look like they are from china

Dude,these are just epackets from Alibaba or ebay. Anyone anywhere could have ordered them and just had them shipped to random places. Half the small shizz you buy is labeled 'jewelry'. More likely to be dud seeds than spooky danger.

I get that all 5 of your viewers have the combined IQ of toe jam, as for the rest of us, we know better. But thanks for the tip.

Lol but mail in voting ..

CCP seeds are as dangerous as the CCP VIRUS.

CNN is kinda cute in a dumb way

Only the countries China hates received them. A country killed more than 4000 Hong Kong protesters in a year and build concentration camp to kill other ethnic is not a normal country. China is Nazi country, it is Chinazi

Maybe there is Chinese Virus on them, because only the countries China hates received them.

that message is like telling children not to eat the candy, of course some are going to plant them, probably even more now that CNN told them not to!

Don't look at the eclipse.

This sounds and smells like a set up... Do you really think China would send those seeds with the address on? From China? 😂😂😂

Pod people

Anybody else think ‘Invasion of the Body Snatchers’

do it i wanna see

Could be an attempt to sabatoge US crops.

Why doesn't the post office stop delivering the seeds

Let me guess, Trump is behind this?

Things are getting insane. I received multiple packages. They all looked like bills. I threw them away immediately, they won't trick me. Thank you CNN for your excellent coverage before the terrorists knocked out our power. We'd have been truly doomed without you.

I ordered a plant from Wish one time and after opening, set it in the corner of the bedroom to plant in the morning. During the night I woke up to see a fat white spider about 2 1/2' across scooting up the wall. I put it outside. It's probably laid eggs. Sorry 🤦🏻🤷🏻🕷.

Assuming this is real, I feel like sending us seeds was the ultimate way to tell us to prepare ourselves for the troubles ahead lol who knows though. There’s different seeds in every trending article. And cnn stays spreading fear

Grow , smoke , enjoy

Seeds from China, probably Joe Biden ordered it for free tree because it’s flooding plus earthquakes in China they can’t plant the seeds.

Someone I know got two packs of these.

We received one paper mask in an envelope from China. We did NOT order it. Odd.

Don't even open them ,give them to the dept of agriculture

Kudzu seeds

Ignore the seeds planted in your mind by the MSM propaganda though…

The way 2020’s been going those seeds 💯 grow into a giant beanstalk that sprout monsters at the top who come down and stomp the sh1t outta us. Just sayin....

We are at war with China thanks to orange man in office. Sad times.

Who had “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” on their 2020 Bingo card?

If they were sent then there’s a mission associated with them. Be vigilant Democracy!

Magical beans

🤔 China mailing these out to everyone or......? Says don’t plant it, so eating it is still on the table.

I am very curious if they really want to do bad things, why use Chinese postage companies? it is so obvious.

Shouldn’t your Customs Officers or Boarder Patroll people have stopped these in the first place, if they came in from China or another country

The seeds in the picture look the same as the pictures of scam seeds from China sold on ebay and amazon advertised as blue strawberries, rainbow tomatos and purple whatever. Amazon and Ebay have been FULL of them for years. Noone is doing anything despite reporting.

The packages typically have Chinese characters on the label and contain a sealed packet of unknown seeds that some state agriculture departments say could be invasive plant species.

No snow no show.!

MURDER SEEDS!!!!!

IAmMrsBeat My son said they grow Corona Trees. LOL.

American politicians will say the seed contains a supervirus or 5G surveillance.🤣🤣

Gee CNN thanks for that critical reporting..normally i plant all the seeds i get in the mail.

Magic beans ? Oh my !

Magic beans?

Those are just orange seeds

schrades87

You are running out of material . What ever happened to the murder hornets and aggressive rats?

Creepy.

Will the devil grow up?

This is so sick 😲

No fear they are not Jacks beans I planted them and they flowered One once gold bars

I already planted mine, want to see what happens

Bet you anything its not china, but some gop / right wing plot.

Maybe get it analyzed for HCQ. F off CNN

It is not the seeds, it is the TRUST. China has made the world dependent for petty things with a vision to conquer the world!! Not possible in this century and next

Lol.

It sounds like spreading a fake news. It would be better for cnn to report a US spy fly only 12NM from the Hainan coastline in south china sea. We conducted more than 55 monitoring missions in Paracel islands and Spratly islands in the last 30 days. Bur, time is on CH side.

China makes hitler look like a playground bully.

Its way past planting season anyways lol

I never would but I'm sure others would. Thank you for reminding ideots.

What’s China doing this time

What if they’re from Jack and say “grow them into a bean stock” !

They look like pistachios!

What happened? China is defunding FakeNewsCNN

Can we eat them?

I love seeds 😅

Chinese Communist Regime is the MOST evil regime in the world today. Anyone believing in humanity, democracy, peace, pluralism, and honesty must join their forces to get rid of the Chinese regime (not the people) before they destroy the humanity.

who is online now

BLAME EVERY PROBLEM IN THE WORLD ON CHINA

Are these not orange seeds? Why is 'suspicious' used?

But I already traded the family cow for them.

CNN probably sent em😂💯
