Valentine warning

Did your kids get any Pokemon Valentines with a heart-shaped lollipop inserted in the card? Here’s a picture courtesy of Channel 7 News Boston (they had the best picture I could find.)
They are recalled after pieces of metal were found in two lollipops in central Florida. Sherwood Brands of Maryland, which imports the candy from China, said it was recalling all of its Pokemon Valentine Cards and Pops, which have been pulled from the shelves of thousands of stores across the country.
Terry Grosselfinger, director of Rockland’s Office of Consumer Protection, sent his inspectors to the store where the pops were believed to be purchased, Rite Aid in Valley Cottage, and the pops were no longer on the shelves, but had, indeed been sold there. Grosselfinger was going have his workers keep an eye out, and encouraged anyone who has seen or purchased the Pokemon Valentines to contact his office at 845-708-7600.
