A 4-year-old girl in Tampa was taken to the hospital after eating candy that was tainted with Oxycontin. The girl was with her grandparents, driving home Monday from Tampa International Airport, when she became lethargic. Her grandparents took her to the hospital where she was treated and released.

Police found several pills mixed in with the Skittles, and say the bag had been resealed. Airport police chief Paul Sireci says officers pulled about 30 bags of Skittles off store shelves as a precaution.

Sireci says it is possible someone gave the candy to the girl, or she picked up the bag from a random spot at the airport. An investigation is in progress.
