Humboldt woman says daughter found pin in Halloween candy
A Humboldt woman said her daughter is scared to eat Halloween candy after she found a pin inserted into a chocolate bar.
Vickie Meyer said her 11-year-old daughter Chelan was opening a Coffee Crisp bar Friday when she noticed a small hole in the wrapper. The girl opened the bar, Meyer said, and saw that the hole continued into the chocolate. After picking away the outer layer of chocolate with her fingernail, Meyer said her daughter discovered a pin had apparently been pushed into the candy through the packaging.
“As soon as I got home from work they showed it to me,” Meyer told paNOW. “I was completely sick to my stomach. Absolutely sick. I just don’t know how people can do that to young children.”
Meyer said she is searching the remainder of the candy brought home by her three children to ensure nothing else was tampered with. She has always taught her three children to carefully examine their candy before eating it, she said, but her daughter was still left quite shaken by the incident.
