Title: Pirate Gold Recall!!
Post by: Taarna on October 31, 2008, 07:55:06 AM
Sorry this warning is late, but I just got it! Since it's Pirate weekend I thought I would attempt to get the word out there!

Did you see this?

I've checked it out and this REAL

Sherwood brand Pirate's Gold Milk Chocolate coins are being recalled due to
the fact that they contain Melamine, the ingredient in milk product that has
caused many infant deaths in china. These candies are sold at Costco, as
well as many bulk and dollar stores. please make sure to check your
childrens halloween candy and DO NOT LET THEM EAT THE PIRATE COINS (you know
the ones wrapped in the shiny gold foil) and please let other parents know
about this! (you can verify this on snopes:

Snopes also states that NONE of the tainted candies were imported to the U.S.

Good catch, That's what I get for reading my email with only one eye open before coffee this morning.

Pay no attention to the flighty faerie... move along... nothing to see here...  ::)

Taarna, You can never be overly cautious when it comes to children.

'Tis a fact Lord Zenok, and my little knight was given quite a few chocolate pirate coins this weekend.

Hopefully there hasn't been a recall of faerie bubbles this week, because that's what I gave to the children.  ;)

Yery true!  Turn your back on one and more often than not it will kick you in the weed puller.
