Sewing needles and pins were found in chocolate bars given to children in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, reports NBC News.
Police believe the tampered-with candy was given out in the area of South Union Street and West South Street. They said the original parent who reported finding the needles checked his kids' candy after seeing a Facebook post about someone else finding needles in Snickers candy. It's not clear if that post was about the Snickers the 12-year-old turned in Sunday afternoon.

According to ABC News, something nasty was found in a Milky Way, too.
Police in the Philly locale stressed that "no one has been injured in these incidents" and that they were unsure "if someone giving candy out inserted the needles or the incidents were hoaxes." Which, I guess, is perhaps their way of saying that they are the latter.
Needles and chocolate-embedded razor blades come second-bottom of the Halloween Candy Hierarchy, above candy corn.
