Razor Sharp
 Forbes Magazine


Gina of Salinas CA, writes:
I received a used razor blade in my magaine. I guess that it was sticking up slightly and when I proceeded to tear open the plastic wrapper -- Voila! -- cut my finger.

Now I am concerned about AIDS. Had my blood tested ... called the police ... post office ... consumer affairs ... Forbes. I'm concerned about the six-month time line with the HIV virus.

Mail rooms of magazines and newspapers are pretty hectic places and it's not unusual to see workers using razor blades to slice tape, plastic wrapping, etc. We'd advise Gina not to be quite so concerned. It's probably harmless.
