Woman's Torso Sent To BJ's Wholesale Headquarters Accidentally

Part of a dead woman's body was mistakenly sent to the BJ's Wholesale headquarters in Westborough, Mass. on Friday -- all because of an itty bitty shipping error, WBZ NewsRadio reported.

The torso was headed for a research lab in Florida, but a misprinted label sent it to horrified employees at the home office of the members-only wholesale giant.

"They started opening the package and they saw the description of what they were opening, that it was a torso of a female," Westborough police Sgt. Jonathan Kalagher told the station. "They never saw the torso. They saw there was packaging and some type of gel. They immediately notified their supervisor."

The body wasn't damaged in the flop because it was marked "perishable," and was handled properly, the Milford Daily News reported.

The company then made arrangements to have the box shipped to the rightful lab.

Never mind the torso, BJ's is the worst or best name EVER for a store!

short for Berkley and Jensen, and they don't have samples of that between isles either. or the store would be doing better than it is now.

When this woman willed her body to science, I bet she never thought she would be cut in half and end up with her torso sent to BJ's Wholesale Club headquarters. Of course she will never know. (this is kind of funny in a sick sort of way :oD).

So what do you think might happen to that body you thought so dearly of when you were alive ? To be cut apart by medical students over and over . Or put on a body farm to decompose to study the decomposition rate and insect cycles on the body . Yep we sure love our body's . Plastic surgery , Skin creams , Hair growing formulas , Make up . We just close our eyes and refuse to believe to think that death will ever happen to us .In reality donating that useless body is a great gift to leave to the future . Better than burning it up or letting it rot in the ground .

You didn't comprehend what I said. I am sure this woman did not think she would end up at BJ's Wholesale Club home office.
