Have you ever noticed how the former Grand Pooba of the Dips looks a lot like Shrek the movie character?
Mea culpa.
It is Shrek glasses that BBC reports are being recalled by Mickey D's. 12 million of them. Their designs are tainted with cadmium, a toxic metal. Glasses were sold in the U.S. for about $2 each, showing four different designs from the animated film. McDonald’s said the move came “...out of an abundance of caution...” and that the glassware is “...safe for consumer use...” That would be what I call a mixed message.
A more credible source, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, has warned people to stop using them. Cadmium is nasty. It can damage the liver, kidneys, lungs, nervous system and brain. The glasses raised concerns about long-term exposure to low levels.
