Overview
- Cargo Largo said Tuesday that follow-up lab testing found the packets were mostly cocaine with trace fentanyl, updating initial field tests that indicated fentanyl.
- The case began Saturday when a customer opened a Barbie and saw powder in the packaging, prompting police to test the substance and start an urgent trace of sales.
- Investigators determined the dolls were sold March 19–20, recovered all five compromised packages, and reported no injuries or overdoses.
- Police said the dolls themselves were clean and the packets were taped inside hollowed cardboard backs before the dolls reached the store, a method officers called flat packing.
- The retailer said it identified the shipment source, brought in K-9 teams to sweep its store and warehouse, and plans regular inspections as the supply‑chain investigation continues, with a suspect now in custody.
