ORLANDO, Fla. -- A bag of candy shocked a local grandmother and will most likely shock you. The toy inside looks like a plane flying right into the Twin Towers. Now, that toy is off some local store shelves because of our story.
It doesn't stop there, though. That grandmother was surprised, again, when she read the numbers imprinted on the toy.
Rodriguez has pictures of the Twin Towers in her living room to remember the victims of 9/11. She says there is no mistake what the toy represents, especially when you look at the product number on every single toy: 9011.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Channel 9 prompted some quick action after we found a children's toy that had a plane between two towers. Lisy Corporation officials are defending their company and say they feel they were tricked into putting the toy in their candy bags.
The toys are packaged with candy sold at Hispanic groceries. They were distributed as far away as Boston.
The company that sold them, but now has recalled them, is called Lisy Corporation, a Miami-based spice, snack and candy company.
Lisy Corp. says they are angry and blame L&M. They believe the product was manufactured in China.
For the second day in a row, the importer of the toy, L&M Import and Export refused to comment. But, they told Channel 9 they didn't think it was a big deal, saying they consider it just a toy for children and don't think it's inappropriate.
