* ''Literature/WarriorCats'': In ''The Darkest Hour'', Sorrelkit sneaks out of camp and sees Darkstripe having a secret conversation with Blackfoot. To keep her quiet, he gives her some tasty-looking red berries for a treat, which are actually poisonous deathberries. She nearly dies, but Firestar finds her in time and scrapes out most of the deathberries from her mouth, and Cinderpelt gives her yarrow to vomit them back up. Her life is saved, but it takes her a long time to recover.

** ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheChamberOfSecrets'': Harry and his friends want to spy on Malfoy because they suspect he's the Heir of Slytherin, so they come up with a plan that involves Harry and Ron transforming into his flunkies, Crabbe and Goyle, using Polyjuice Potion. The potion requires some of Crabbe's and Goyle's hair, so Hermione drugs some chocolate cupcakes with a Sleeping Draught and leaves them out to tempt the two Slytherins into eating them.

*** Hermione warns Harry that some girls who have crushes on him are planning to try and slip him love potion. So, when Romilda Vane offers him Chocolate Cauldrons filled with love potion at a party, he turns her down. He leaves the chocolates lying around but forgets he has them, which causes trouble when [[BigEater Ron]] finds and eats them.

They turn out to be ridiculously powerful chocolate laxatives. Her grandmother ends up having to call the ambulance, and while her life is saved, her body is permanently damaged to the extent that she has to spend seven hours on the toilet every day for the rest of her life.

Before long, however, all the Gryffindors had learned to treat food anybody else offered them with extreme caution, in case it had a Canary Cream concealed in the center, and George confided to Harry that he and Fred were now working on developing something else. Harry made a mental note never to accept so much as a crisp from Fred and George in future.''
