Dosages: A German woman sued a candy-maker after she overdosed on licorice:

Margit Kieske, 48, who consumed nearly one pound of licorice per day, sued the German candy company Haribo for not posting a health warning on boxes of the chewy treats.

Kieske, 48, claimed the sticky sweets were responsible for her heart troubles — and asked for $7,200 in damages.

Natural licorice can be toxic if taken in excessive quantities.
But, eating a pound of licorice a day is beyond anyone's common sense, at least in Germany. She lost.
