A mum is urging parents to check youngsters' Halloween goodies after she discovered a "pencil sharpener blade" inside a trick or treat sweet given to her children. Lindsey Dickinson, from Cleethorpes, told how she spotted the "strange-looking" sweet as she looked at the items given to her youngsters.
And when she checked closer she found it contained the sharp blade which she says left her "shocked". And she says it could have hurt a young child if they had just popped it into their mouth, reports Grimsby Live.
Lindsey told how her children Charlie, 14, and Grace, 12, spent an hour-and-a-half knocking on doors in Cleethorpes on Halloween night. As they youngsters looked over what they had been given, her son picked up an orange Fruitella to eat.
