Police in California are warning parents to check their children’s candy during Halloween after a child reportedly fell ill from ingesting a THC-infused candy received at a local trick-or-treating event over the weekend.

The Alameda Police Department on Monday asked parents to "exercise extra caution and inspect your child’s Halloween candy" while they investigated an incident that required a child to seek immediate medical attention after consuming a cannabis candy.

The "Trunk or Treat" event where the pot-infused candies are believed to have been handed out was held at Alameda's Amelia Earhart Elementary School on Sunday, FOX2 KTVU reported.

Susan Davis, the senior manager for community affairs for the Alameda Unified School District, told the station that the child’s parents checked the candy that the student got from the event and found a wrapper that says it is cannabis infused.

"Cannabis-infused candy can look a lot like real candy, so it's really important for parents to check the candy this year," said Davis.

Beth Meloy, a parent who attended the event with her child, told the station that the THC-infused candy looked like a "standalone Starburst." Meloy said her child received the candy at the event and that she only noticed the packaging difference after getting emails and calls from other parents and the school.

Police said that many THC-infused candies can closely resemble popular name brand sweets, sharing several photos of name-brand candy next to cannabis products that have similar packaging. 

The department urged parents to take precautions during Halloween including checking their child’s candy for unusual packaging and tampering; educating their children about not eating candies that are not in their original packaging or have not been checked by their parents; and contacting police if any candy is found that causes concerns.

Police said if there is any doubt about the authenticity of the candy, parents should err on the side of caution and discard the sweets.

U.S. forces in western Iraq were targeted in another drone attack early Tuesday morning, according to a report, marking the latest in a string of assaults on American troops in the Middle East as the Israel-Hamas war continues.

Two armed drones were used against Iraq’s Ain al-Asad airbase, Reuters reported, citing a security source and a government source. The base hosts international troops that assist Iraq in defeating a terror group called the Daesh, or the Islamic State. No casualties or damage were reported.

Tuesday's attack would be the 25th on U.S. forces in Iraq and Syria since Oct. 17. The attacks have included a mix of one-way drones and rockets, resulting in the death of an American contractor and 24 injured troops, according to U.S. defense officials.

The attacks have increased in recent weeks as President Biden and other senior leaders continue to express support for Israel and its right to defend itself after one of the worst terror attacks in decades left more than 1,400 people dead, including 34 Americans.

According to Reuters, a group called the "Islamic resistance in Iraq" endorsed the attack, which took place less than 24 hours after another missile attack from the same base in Iraq.

On Monday, five rockets landed a mile away from the al-Asad Air Base.

No injuries to American soldiers or the base were reported. Coalition forces also were not injured.

In response to earlier attacks, U.S. military forces last week conducted "self-defense strikes on two facilities in eastern Syria used by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and affiliated groups," Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin said Thursday.

"The President has no higher priority than the safety of U.S. personnel, and he directed today’s action to make clear that the United States will not tolerate such attacks and will defend itself, its personnel, and its interests," Austin said.

He added: "These precision self-defense strikes are a response to a series of ongoing and mostly unsuccessful attacks against U.S. personnel in Iraq and Syria by Iranian-backed militia groups that began on October 17."

Austin also called Iran out by name, explicitly blaming the country for the attacks on American forces over the past two weeks.

"The United States does not seek conflict and has no intention nor desire to engage in further hostilities, but these Iranian-backed attacks against U.S. forces are unacceptable and must stop," Austin said. "Iran wants to hide its hand and deny its role in these attacks against our forces. We will not let them. If attacks by Iran’s proxies against U.S. forces continue, we will not hesitate to take further necessary measures to protect our people."

Since the start of the Israel-Hamas war, more than 30 Americans have been killed in the conflict, which has also claimed lives of citizens from 38 other countries.
