State and local authorities are warning parents to be vigilant about the possibility of narcotics or other contaminants being mixed in with their children's candy this Halloween -- especially after someone attempted to smuggle roughly 12,000 fentanyl pills hidden inside bags and boxes of candy at Los Angeles International Airport.
"With Halloween approaching, parents need to make sure they are checking their kids candy and not allowing them to eat anything until it has been inspected by them," the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department advised. "If you find anything in candy boxes that you believe might be narcotics, do not touch it and immediately notify your local law enforcement agency."
The department advisory also noted that fentanyl pills such as the ones seized at LAX on Oct. 19 are often produced in different colors and occasionally hidden in candy packaging. "Although we don't believe children are the target of these smugglers, we want you to remain diligent to ensure these illicit products have not accidently been mixed in with your children's candy," authorities said.-- trick or treating in groups, accompanied by parents or responsible adults when possible;-- discarding open candy packages or any other treat that looks suspicious.
Children who eat these products may exhibit symptoms including sleepiness, fatigue, diarrhea, seizures in toddlers, slurred speech, vomiting or difficulty breathing.-- storing them out of reach or in locked locations;-- checking children's candies collected during Halloween and if anything looks suspicious, throw it out.
