milehiiu Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 A good public service you are doing here by posting this. Heard and saw about this. But did not think of posting it on HSN. Thank you for doing it. Don't open the package HSN.... should you get one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rico Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 Channel 15 reported to not throw them away if you receive them. They could end up in a local landfill. They should be sent to the USDA for proper disposal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
