Micro-drama

I ordered seeds from two different places way back in - April? March? The seeds were supposed to grow into either colored bamboo (red, blue, yellow, purple) or spiral grass.

Today one small package arrived containing three small plastic envelopes of seeds. The sender's name does not describe either of the vendors I purchased from.

The outside of the package listed the contents as "one stud earring" on each of three lines of print.

My question is, have I received contraband? Should I call this to anyone's attention and if so, whose?

Oh, and one vendor sells through Amazon and the other through dodobest...

Likely both kinds of seed come from China.

Had heard of this happening some days ago. Did a quick Google search (search for "seeds from china"). Quoting one of the top results:
The USDA said if you receive the packets of seeds, do not plant them and contact your state plant regulatory official.
@PirateMonkeyCabinet Thank you! That helps!

@Mamapolo2016 You're welcome! Hopefully it'll turn out to be harmless seeds as seems to be reported with most cases of this so far.
@PirateMonkeyCabinet Mildly amazing. I actually found the right agency and they actually answered the phone.

I hope nobody knocks and says, "We're from the government and we're here to help."
