Guest LauraKrycek Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 Taken from https://www.cnn.com/2003/US/Midwest/11/09/f...e.ap/index.html KIRKWOOD, Missouri (AP) -- FedEx workers discovered a shipment of two human legs and an arm when one of the boxes was found leaking at a company depot, police said. A Las Vegas donor research company sent the limbs to a man who sells body parts to doctors for use in research projects, Kirkwood police spokeswoman Diane Scanga said. The FBI, state agencies and local police determined no laws were broken, she said. The shipment was discovered Wednesday when one of the boxes was found leaking at a FedEx depot in nearby St. Louis. Workers learned each package contained a limb, wrapped in dry ice. Police refused to identify the man, who was issued a warning for apparently operating an unlicensed home business. It is against FedEx policy to ship body parts, said Howard Clabo, a spokesman for the Memphis-based company. That last sentence had me rolling. Good to know! Guess I won't be able to send that package after all... also, I'm thinking that they didn't say where this man gets those body parts? Hm....

voidprime Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 Nice to know they have standards, but I do wonder where the body parts came from too. Be Seeing you, David Blackwell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And imagine if they accidentally lost it in some warehouse somewhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, imagine a stink being in the warehouse somewhere and the FedEx having to apologize to many people that their packages stink.
