A recent scare hit a family in Beaverton, Oregon on Halloween night when a mother says her daughter found a blade in her candy stash. KOIN reported the story.

The woman says she took her kids trick-or-treating near NW Cornelius Pass Road and NW Quatama Road. Her 13-year-old daughter found the blade inside a Twix bar after getting home.

The blade appeared to have possibly come from a pencil sharpener. It’s unknown if the wrapper was completely sealed before the girl touched it.

Officials have since cautioned parents to inspect candy closely.
