Joe Heckel of Cincinnati, Ohio peeked inside a TKO brand heavy punching bag he had purchased and was surprised to find it stuffed with underwear, some of it "used." From WLWT Cincinnati:
"(There were) bras, thongs and bathing suits. We could not believe there were clothes inside instead of sand," he said.
Heckel said the smell was "bad, real bad…"
Heckel said Thursday that the representative (from TKO) told him that the underwear in the bag was a "quality problem" that they were dealing with, and that the people who had made the decision to put underwear in the bags had been fired.
