A Volusia County grandfather thought he was just buying a game of checkers for his grandson, but when he opened it up he found much more than just a game board. He found a very racy picture.
The game of checkers says it's meant for kids ages 6 and up. But when John Finn bought it at a DeLand Winn Dixie for his 6-year-old grandson Matthew, what he found inside wasn't meant for any child to see.
The vendor, Promotions Unlimited, explained in a letter to Finn's wife that the cardboard was recycled from a factory in China.
"According to the distributor, he believed it was just an oversight. But it's the kind of oversight that is really something that can't be tolerated," Finn said.
Channel 9 also contacted the vendor of the product who said, from now on, the factories in China are being ordered to use only clean cardboard as packing material. Winn Dixie has pulled the game from nine stores.
But is the cardboard advertisement as bad as the suggestive photography from the news agency?
