Police say a Utah woman opened a newly purchased box of tampons and found that two were filled with cocaine.

Cindy Davidson says she bought the box from the NPS store, which is a discount store in Salt Lake City that sells misdirected or damaged freight products. But she didn’t realize the box had been tampered with until later that night, reports CBS affiliate KUTV.

Although the outside packaging appeared undisturbed, instead of a tampon inside the applicator, there was reportedly a bag of cocaine.

According to local station KSL, Davidson inspected four of the sixteen tampons and found two of them were filled with the white powder wrapped in cellophane.

“I started getting nervous because I thought it might have been a terrorist attack,” she reportedly said.

“I called police and the police came, and the hazardous materials unit came, and the fire department, and the Taylorsville Police and the Salt Lake Police,” Davidson told KUTV.

Police are looking into the incident, but are not optimistic they’ll find answers, reports KUTV.

Normally, I would not have commented on a story like this if something similar had not hap- pened to me. When I was in the market for a new sofa, I fell in love with this wonderfully, deep rose-colored sectional designed with a chaise lounge on one end and a pull-out sleep- er in the middle.

It had not been on display at the furniture store for very long, so, of course, I had to pur- chase it before it got snatched up. When I final- ly got it delivered, I went to pull out the sleeper and out popped a small plastic bag of pills.

When the police arrived after I called them, they, too, had very little answers as to how the drugs got in the sofa to begin with. Most of the items we buy are manufactured in other coun- tries, then shipped to the U.S. So, anywhere along that process the drugs could have been stashed in an attempt to smuggle them into the country, then were never retrieved.

The officers told me that it was not uncom- mon for consumers to find things like guns, money or other contraband in any given prod- uct imported in from other countries.

Needless to say, I’m now pretty diligent about inspecting things I buy, looking for whatever little surprises that may be lurking deep within. Thankfully, I haven’t found anything unusual since then, but, you never know....
