MCDONALD’S RECALLS COLLECTIBLE DRINKING GLASSES
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced that McDonald's Corporation has recalled "Shrek Forever After 3D" Collectible Drinking Glasses, due to the presence of cadmium in the design detail on the glasses. Long term exposure to cadmium, a toxic metal substance, could cause serious damage to the body, including lung damage and kidney disease. CPSC warns consumers to stop using these recalled drinking glasses immediately unless otherwise instructed. If you are concerned about exposure to cadmium, call you physician. The Illinois Department of Public Health's website also provides helpful information about cadmium.
The 16 ounce collectable drinking glass came in four designs -- Shrek, Fiona, Puss n’ Boots, and Donkey. McDonald's was the exclusive seller of the cups in May and June 2010, and has recalled all 12 million cups manufactured for the market.
