FESTUS, Mo. – A second razor blade was found hidden in the handlebar of a shopping cart at a Festus Walmart. The first report was made on Sunday when a shopper made the disturbing discovery.
"When she wiped down the handle with an antibacterial wipe, she cut her finger on it," said Michelle Patterson.
Patterson doesn't blame Walmart for the incident. She wants others to be aware so no one is hurt in the future
"Either way, it's horrible. To leave the blade it was crooked, so the sharp end was out and it just poked me. But a little kid, it could have been pretty bad," said Michelle Patterson.
A second razor blade was found by an associate during an inspection of the carts. It is leaving some customers very concerned.
"It's shocking, and scary. Someone out there doing that. Especially in a place like this, when you are just trying to get in and get out quickly. You have people doing things like this," said shopper Lea Hamilton.
Police are reviewing security footage to see who's responsible. However, police say it is like looking for a needle in a hack stack.
