Shoe shoppers across the country are being asked to carefully check inside shoes before trying them on as a result of a recent string of incidents where customers found used hypodermic needles in the bottom of shoes at several shoes stores. So far only one injury has been reported. According to the victim, who asked not to be named due to pending legal actions, she was trying on a pair of running shoes when she felt a sharp shooting pain in her left foot immediately after sliding her foot into the shoe. She removed the shoe and discovered a broken hypodermic needle protruding from the arch of her foot.
Paramedics were called to the scene and the victim awaits blood test to determine if the needle was infected with any diseases.
Authorities advise you to immediately report any needles you may find and that you should not remove the syringe yourself.
