SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) - Authorities in the San Francisco Bay Area say seven children got sick after they apparently ate expired candy.
San Jose Fire Department Capt. Mitch Matlow tells the Mercury News in San Jose that fire personnel went to Cesar Chavez Elementary School after receiving a report of seven students with “minor symptoms of upset stomach.”
Matlow says none of the affected students needed to go to the hospital, and all were released to their parents.
A father, Carlos Villalobos, tells KTVU-TV that the candy bought at a nearby store had expired a year ago. Neither the fire department nor police could immediately corroborate that claim.
