The object, resembling a blade that would be found in a pencil sharpener, was discovered in a chocolate bar, police said.
The blade was discovered only after the child bit into the candy bar, but before the blade was ingested, said Jean Dobbs, the boy’s father.
Longueuil police say all parents in the area should check candy collected during Halloween for altered packaging and to report any suspicious items to police by calling 911.
Police also ask that anyone with information regarding suspicious Halloween candy contact them immediately at 911.
