Oneida Police say tainted gum may have been given to trick-or-treaters
Oneida (WSYR-TV) – Oneida Police are warning parents after reports that bubble gum handed out on Halloween night may have been tainted.
Police say one teen reported that after returning home from trick-or-treating, she put a piece of “Super Bubble Gum” in her mouth that tasted bitter and tin like and made her lips numb. The teen’s mother tasted the gum and confirmed the taste and sensation and called the police. [...]
Police sent the gum to a lab to be tested. They have not confirmed whether or not it is tainted.

Razor blade found in candyPolice say this could be one of many
Reporter: Celina Westervelt
SANTA FE, NM (KRQE) - Sometimes a parent's worst nightmare really does come true.
Someone really did put a razor blade in a child's Halloween candy in Santa Fe Halloween night.
"There was a little slit on that side right here. It was a minimal slit. If he had opened it from the front or the other side he would have never really seen it," said John Martinez.
He found a razor in Reese's peanut butter cup while inspecting his 15 year-old son's Halloween candy. [...]

Halloween candy rumors rampant after death of 11-year-old girl, but police say foul play not suspected
By Kelli Stopczynski
CASS COUNTY -- An 11-year-old Howard Township girl was found dead in her bed and some parents are worried about the safety of their own children.
Destany Frick's parents tried to wake her up for school Thursday morning, but she was unresponsive. Other than a news release sent late Thursday, police weren’t saying much Friday. There’s no indication of how or why Destany Frick died. A Cass County police spokesman admitted they are looking into her Halloween candy for clues, but a source close to the investigation said they don't believe that's what killed the otherwise healthy little girl.
Rumors inside Oak Manor Sixth Grade Center and outside in the Niles Community are rampant.
“The Halloween candy might have been poisoned and then she died in her sleep because of that, that's what they're saying,” said Hali Burns, one of Frick’s friends. [...]
