OMAHA, Neb. -- An Omaha teen opened a box of toys this week to find more than the Legos he expected inside. Joshua Morgal, 14, found a syringe full of blood.
Morgal's mother, Laura Ewoldt, bought her son a box of toys at the St. Vincent DePaul store in Omaha to reward him for good grades. When her son brought her what he'd found in the box, he had already been scratched -- maybe by the Legos, maybe by the syringe.
"After rewarding him with a $15 toy for doing good in school, now I don't know if he's gonna live or die," Ewoldt said
Morgal will be tested for HIV as a precaution.
A manager at St. Vincent DePaul said all merchandise is inspected before it is sold to the public.
Ewoldt said she should have looked through the box, too, but she insists the syringe came from the store.
