Default Halloween Candy Alert!

I checked this out on snopes.com and this is TRUE. Here is the link
http://www.snopes.com/food/warnings/coins.asp.
Good information to know. Have a safe Halloween.
Please be safe!

Subject: Important Halloween warning
Importance: High

THROW AWAY ALL CHOCOLATE COINS!

With Halloween fast approaching comes a warning to parents and kids
regarding Sherwood brand Pirate's Goldmilk chocolate coins imported from
China. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is warning the public not to
eat, distribute or sell the candy. It is sold across Canada by Costco
and may also have been sold in bulk packages or as individual pieces at
various dollar and bulk stores. The chocolate contains melamine which is
the same chemical responsible for killing several babies in China, and
sickening thousands more.

Please read the National Post article below and pass this on!

Dude, yet another dangerous product from China. I'm so tired of this. I hate that manufacturing is so unregulated there and soooo many of our imports come from there.

Anyway, thanks for the head's up!

I was just talking with a friend about this. It feels like China is trying to kill us off! I know that may be a unrealistic view but honestly...just another reason to BUY AMERICAN!

What the HECK is up with China sending us sh!t??? I am SO sick of it! I had a scare over the Mum-Mums I give my munchkin, but thankfully they weren't tainted. Now chocolate... ugh!

Don't even get me started on the lead paint they were using on toys and pretending that they weren't...

Thanks for posting this Mandy!
