Company Pulling Candy Bags With 9/11 'Toy' Friday, August 27, 2004 MIAMI — Small toys showing an airplane flying into the World Trade Center (search) were packed inside more than 14,000 bags of candy and sent to small groceries around the country before being recalled. Lisy Corp. (search), the wholesaler that distributed the candy, said Friday that the toys were purchased in bulk from a Miami-based import company. The toys came in an assortment purchased sight unseen from L&M Import (search) in Miami and included the toys depicting the Sept. 11, 2001, attack on the twin towers, whistles and other small toys, said Luis Pedron, Lisy's national sales manager. The invoice said the toy was a plastic swing set.

Cui bono? It sure ain't L&M Import. Is somebody out to snooker them, or was this a misdirected shipment meant for the children of brave jihadists on some other continent?

"I hate to blame the importer. He probably did not know what he was getting. He brings them in 40-foot containers. But whoever made it knew exactly what they were making," Pedron said.
I would rather like to physically get my hands on the individual responsible for that.
You and a lot of us!

You don't think there were "toys" depicting a mushroom cloud over Mecca?
I could sketch one up if anyone is interested...

I wouldn't go right for the importer's jugular, but I would make them want to wake up and rethink some of their business associates!

Back around late winter 01 or spring 02 I remember looking at a mail order catalog for curtains, blinds, etc. In the pictures of a few of the windows with curtains where pictures of jets flying.

"Lisy says they bought the toys, sight unseen, from L and M Import/Export of Miami. We talked to L and M and they say they have no problem at all with the toy and don't consider it offensive at all.
We even pointed out to the import company that every single toy has a stock number on the front that reads "9011." L and M Imports didn't find it all coincidental and said it's just a toy. Asked if they'd talk on camera, they said there is nothing to talk about"
