GUYS... Seriously, if you give out dum-dums this year, PLEASE test the suckers before giving them out!
Pop one in your mouth and after a few moments, pull on the stick a bit. If you find that it easily slides off of the stick, do not give them to small children, it is a really bad choking hazard.
We bought a bag to do just that, this year.. I nearly choked.
If they don't come off easily, they're probably fine to give out, but I had my family test them out and all of the suckers seem to be doing it.
I took this photo to show exactly what I'm talking about.
I'll move this to scraps later.

If they have a number on the bag for complaints/concerns (which they should), I'd definitely call when it's available and let them know about this - Especially the part that ALL the suckers were faulty and not just one. They will probably want to know where you bought it and when, so they can contact the factory that likely produced them for details.
No, you just eat them or toss them in the trash. Chances are if the ones that you do eat have all come off of the stick, the rest of them will likely do the same. By testing out a few, you can make an educated guess based upon that, as to the relative safety of the rest of the bag. If the ones you've eaten have not had any problems, then they'er likely a good batch.
Eh, not really. I've bought these before and they where so loose that just unwrapping a few caused them to pop off. So I can see the serious concern for choking hazards for small kids just for lightly sucking on them.
So testing a few in one bag is not a bad idea, to make sure some kid doesn't choke on them.

Its happened to me a few times with a few different bags. But usually when I get them, they are pretty on the stick. But occasionally.. its like they just don't check a few bunches here and there. Kind of weird. But I hope if they are having loss of quality control that something snaps them back to it, because I like those little suckers. XD
Well... Technically not. Me and my family are still going to eat them (all adults). Now that we know what to expect from them, it's not as dangerous for us. We're getting replacement candy for trick or treat though. Parents usually request some sort of suckers for small kids, so we have to find some safe ones.
Blow pops are bigger and usually stick to the sticks better than the small dum dums.
The biggest issues with both of them are, dum dums you can choke and the blowpops can split as you suck them creating quite sharp hard edges which I actually had cut my mouth pretty badly before. It is why I perfer the chocolates.

to be honest, i've never had a lollipop that didn't dislodge easily. (i remember the sticks falling out in my trick or treat bag back in the day.) my advice is try and find the ones that have the stick that loops through the candy (though i usually only see them in the sugar free ones at the doctor's office) or the ones with the chewy candy center (they seem to "glue" themselves to the sick better.) the hard candy does not stick to those paper sticks that well.
