Some consumers may be dismayed to find their Social Security
numbers printed on unsolicited packages from H&R Block, the result
of a recent labeling blunder at the company.
The packages, which H&R Block mailed in December, contained free
copies of the company's tax preparation software, TaxCut. By
mistake, some of the packages also displayed recipients' Social
Security numbers, which were embedded in 47-digit tracking codes
above mailing labels.
