(KNZA)--The Brown County Sheriff’s Office has received reports of residents receiving unsolicited face masks from China through local mail.
Sheriff John Merchant says he has contacted the United States postal inspector in Topeka who offered the following advice: If the package has not been opened, write "RETURN TO SENDER" and take to your local post office. If the package has been opened and you did not order it, throw it away.
The U.S. postal inspector says complaints of unsolicited face masks from China are being received nationwide.
Merchant said the postal inspector stated that he has not been aware of anything dangerous in the face masks at this time.
He added unsolicited packages of seeds from China residents have been receiving in the mail as well have been turned over to the Kansas Department of Agriculture.
As always, Merchant said if you have any questions, contact your local law enforcement.
