SILVER SPRING, Md. (AP) -- A medical center chain is offering free digital X-ray imaging of Halloween candy, designed to detect possible objects such as glass, metal and plastic in candy.

Patient First says it's also giving out free safety blinkers that can be attached to a child's Halloween costume. Those will be available while supplies last.
