Guest guest Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 We wanted to thank everyone for wishing Collin a happy 3rd birthday and share a scary unexpected expereince we had yesterday. At lunch time I ran to the local dollar store to purchase a dozen latex ballons and some mylars. I decided to get the candy balloon weights they sold there I bought 4 of them and dropped them off at home. Well after work we had the party, twords the end I decided to split the balloon candy weights into the party bags I had prearranged for the kids. Well there was some extra and my sister was going through it who had 2 children at the party to see what was good, etc... She found a very small pack of razors...I am so not kidding you!!!!! The box was blue and white and little it totally blended in with the mixed candy assortment. I always thought that kind of stuff was only rumors but let me tell you know it happens. We are very careful people too, my husband is a police officer. I tried calling the store to have them clear the shelves about 10 after 8 but it had closed at 8 and they didn't answer. I got a hold of them this morning, of course the owner is away until next week so I just talked to a store associate and asked her to stop selling those bags and have them all checked before they seriously hurt someone. Thank goodness my sister was routing through the candy looking for a yummy treat or one of our babies could have had a terrible accident. Out of the 7 kids at the party 5 were not school age yet, so it could have been terrible but thankfully no one was hurt. I really want to talk to the owner theough because I'm afraid the woman I spoke with will not make him aware in fear someone will get in trouble for their stupid mistake, etc. The candy was next to the baloons so they could use razors to open boxes, cut ballon streamers, etc and just were super uncareful. I'll stop venting now, but please be careful because I never thought something like that would happen to us, especially when I made the purchase and I also emptied the candy bags into the kids party bags and still missed it because it blended it with the rest of the candy, it was the size of the chicklet box, etc and colorful.
