The head of a Miami, Fla. wholesaler says his Lisy Corp. is recalling 14,000 bags of candy, because they contain a toy that some believe is a plane flying into New York City's World Trade Center towers.

Pedron, the national sales manager for Lisy, explained to reporters over the weekend that his company meant no harm and didn't notice the problem with the plastic figurines until Orlando, Fla. grandmother, Anna Rodriguez complained.

The Associated Press is reporting that the authentic Mexican candy bags were sent to Lisy's distributors, to be sold in neighborhood Hispanic and Mexican grocers.

Lisy troubles may not be over with the current recall.

Another a toy looks remarkably like Osama bin Laden standing between two buildings.

Miami's L&M Imports was the original sources of the bags, described as containing "Plastic Swings."

Pedron say he had originally purchased the candy sight unseen.

Now he'll send back all he's collected.
