San Diego Padres Accidentally Give Away Bug-Infested Beach Hats

SAN DIEGO, CA – The San Diego Padres gave away – and then took back – free beach hats Saturday afternoon. The team announced the hats may have been infested with bugs.

"During the distribution of tonight's beach hat giveaway, it was discovered that some packaging contained what independent experts believe to be grain beetles," a statement from the team read.

Grain beetles pose no threats to humans, but the team decided to stop handing out the hats "out of an abundance of caution."

"We immediately ceased distribution and switched to rainchecks for all fans in attendance."

Padres fans were given vouchers for another giveaway.

"We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience."
