It has been brought to our attention that there is news of a recall of Valentine's Day candy, specifically, lollipops.
Authorities issued a safety alert Thursday after a lollipop marketed under Pokemon Valentine Cards and Pops was found with a blade-like piece of metal. The lollipop came from a Dollar Store in Lakeland, Fla., which received the candy imported from China through Sherwood Brands of Maryland. Dollar Stores pulled similar items from its shelves nationwide as a precaution and warned people who previously had purchased the candy not to give it out.
Although we have not heard specific news of this recall in Maine and while it may be a rumor, you may want to check any Valentine's Day treats you have at home.
