Customers reported finding the razor blades at a Walmart
Supercenter and a Walmart Neighborhood Market, said Lt. Candace
Young, a public information officer for the Biloxi Police
Department.
Walmart employees told police a customer first reported finding
a razor blade in a loaf purchased from the Walmart Supercenter
on Dec. 5. On Dec. 8, a customer who bought a loaf at the
Walmart Neighborhood Market also reported finding a razor blade.
After another customer complained to the Walmart Supercenter on
Sunday, employees inspected the merchandise and found several
more loaves had been tampered with, law enforcement officials
said.
The police department was notified on Monday.
In a press release, the department asked all citizens who bought
bread from those Walmart locations to inspect the loaves and
report any findings.
“The health and safety of our customers is always a top
priority," Walmart said in a statement. “We have removed and
thoroughly inspected all potentially affected products at
impacted stores in Biloxi. We appreciate law enforcement for
their swift action and will continue cooperating with them as
they investigate.”
The Biloxi Police Department said it does not believe any other
stores have been targeted.
If customers purchase a product that has been tampered with,
they should immediately throw it out and visit their local
Walmart for a full refund, the company said.
