Boxes of Pokémon Valentine's Day cards have been removed from a Lakeland, Fla. Dollar General store after a piece of candy in one of the purchased boxes contained a blade, possibly from a box cutter.

Lisa Potter's son was filling out the Valentines Wednesday when he discovered the blade partially sealed inside a lollipop.

The Valentines were made by Sherwood Brands of Maryland. Both the Polk County Sheriff's Office and Dollar General are conducting investigations.
