Exclusive! Child's Drink Spiked With a Razor Blade

Tamika Jones of Capitol Heights Maryland followed me and 9 News Now cameraman Keith Williams on Wednesday to the front steps of the Supreme Court building.
We were preparing a report on the upcoming March 18th arguments over the DC ban on handguns.

Ms Jones, mother of two girls, wanted to give us another story. "You won't believe this" she said.

She had pulled her car over and produced a plastic bottle that had a rusting razor blade at the bottom. She said the bottle had contained a grape drink that she had purchased at the Shopper's Food Warehouse store on Silver Hill road in Capitol Heights.

It's a popular children's beverage called "Mondo" squeeze drink and you get ten for ten dollars', she explained.

Tamika says her seven year old daughter complained of not feeling well after drinking the juice and when she examined the bottle she discovered the razor blade embedded inside.

A complaint was filed with Shopper's Food warehouse; but the mother says the manager of the store didn't believe her and even accused her of tampering with the bottle.

Shoppers Corporate office gave Nine News Now a statement in which they say "We sincerely regret this unfortunate incident and we are conducting a thorough investigation of quality control procedures".

Tamika Jones says she has heard from the Corporate office, their insurance company and the bottler of the drink in Chicago. All are promising to get to the bottom of the razor blade incident.
