Seven-year-old girl finds condom in a Happy Meal

A seven-year-old New Zealand girl was given a condom in a gift that came with a so-called "Happy Meal" at a Wellington McDonald's outlet, a newspaper reported on Thursday.

"I was pretty horrified, really," grandfather Rowan Hatch told the Dominion Post after he had found the condom in its unopened plastic wrapper inside a small sports bag that came with a meal he bought for Maia Whitaker.

"The fact my granddaughter was going to look in the bag and find this thing - it was going to be difficult to explain, really. She's only seven."

The restaurant manager swapped the bag for a pencil case, and a McDonald's spokesperson said the incident was being investigated, the AP reports.
