Pin found in Halloween candy in Lewisporte

The RCMP is urging parents to check Halloween candy after a pin was found in a chocolate bar in Lewisporte.

On Monday afternoon the RCMP received a call from Lewisporte Academy informing them that a student bit into a chocolate bar and discovered a small metal pin inside. The pin stuck into the child’s mouth and was safely removed.

It is not believed that the pin was embedded into the chocolate bar during the manufacturing process but contact was made with the manufacturer to investigate all possibilities.
