Public Warned of
“Vampire Blood”
The Virginia Department of Agriculture and Commerce (VDAC) today issued a warning to consumers not to purchase or allow children to use a red-colored paste called “Vampire’s Blood.” Severe illness and nausea may result if the product is eaten.
Five second grade children in the Richmond area were recently made sick after playing with, and presumably eating, “Vampire’s Blood.” The product is a red paste, comes inn one-ounce tube, and is designed so children can play vampire by smearing the blood-colored material near the comers of their mouth or on their skin.
“Vampire’s Blood” is made by Imagineering, Inc. of Phoenix, Arizona. The product may be sold almost anywhere, including candy stores, drug stores, and 5 and 10 cent stores.
VDAC inspectors are looking for the product on Virginia store shelves and will issue stop sale orders on the product pending further investigation.
Citizens have information or questions on the matter should contact Arthur T. Hart, Supervisor, Pesticides and Hazardous Substances Section, VDAC, 203 North Governor Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219, Telephone 770-3798.
