but it is good that they pulled them so quickly. Who makes these? :shrug:



A wholesaler in Miami is recalling 14,000 bags of candy containing this toy, shown Friday, Aug. 27, 2004, in Orlando, Fla., that shows a plane flying into the twin towers on Sept. 11, 2001. Lisy Corp., said Friday the toys were purchased in bulk from a Miami-based import company and that the company did not notice what the small figurines depicted until someone complained.(AP Photo/Peter Cosgrove)

"I hate to blame the importer. He probably did not know what he was getting. He brings them in 40-foot containers. But whoever made it knew exactly what they were making," Pedron said.

"When we found out what happened, we recalled them immediately," said Pedron, who said the toys do not reflect the company's view. "I was offended by them."
