A HEAD of iceberg lettuce has been found to contain a 75 millimetre nail at Carrum Downs Coles on Ballarto Road. The nail was pulled from the product by a customer at 1.40 pm on 3 November.

CCTV of the aisle proved inconclusive as to whether the nail had been put there accidentally or maliciously. First published in the Frankston Times – 12 November 2018
