I Choose Life

Sometimes, God drops a tiny, shiny gem into the work day, and I stumble upon something like this:

Rockville, MD -- February 14, 2008 – Sherwood Brands LLC is voluntarily recalling approximately 400,000 packages of Pokémon® branded "Valentine Cards and Pops™" (Item# 073964209109 and Item# 073964289804), because of reports that metal fragments were found in two lollipops purchased in Florida. There are no reports of injury. People who bite into or swallow a metal fragment could possibly be injured.

It's hard to pick a favorite bit.  But it's awesome that the company is actually named after its product, as in: "Pokémon is committed to consumer safety and we're working closely with our licensee, Sherwood Brands, to investigate this matter completely," said J.C. Smith, Pokémon USA's director of marketing.
