This is true and current.  It checks out on Snopes... see the link below. 

 

  

 

With Halloween fast approaching comes a warning to parents and kids regarding Sherwood brand Pirate's Gold milk chocolate coins imported from China .

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is warning the public not to eat, distribute or sell the candy.

It is sold across Canada by Costco and may also have been sold in bulk packages or as individual pieces at various dollar and bulk stores.

The chocolate contains melamine which is the same chemical responsible for killing several babies in China , and sickening thousands more.

Man, whatever happened to those days of my youth spending hours and hours on Halloween trick or treating with no fear of being kidnapped, attacked, poisoned, etc, etc.   Now my kids have all these worries plus the fact that I end of eating all of their chocolate.  Well, not the chocolate coins anymore!

As long as they don't recall the Laffy Taffy I'm ok.

Yeah.  All we had to worry about was Razor Blades in the candy.

That is true - I do recall possibly finding a pin in an apple once - even the healthy stuff wasn't really "Healthy".
