If you (or your child) either gave or received Pokemon branded Valentine cards yesterday, you'll probably want to toss them.

Sherwood Brands LLC is voluntarily recalling approximately 400,000 packages of the Pokemon branded "Valentine Cards and Pops," because of reports that metal fragments were found in two of the lollipops. The products being recalled are packages of 10 and 30 cards and lollipops featuring a variety of characters. The product was sold at retailers nationwide.

Consumers who have purchased the products are advised not to consume them and to return them to Sherwood Brands LLC (Attn: Product Recall, 350 Shaw Dr., Keysville, VA 23947) for a full refund.

Of course, unlike other products, it is likely that the cards and lollipops have already been distributed. For those who happened to receive one, enjoy the card and toss the pop.
