It's almost too incredible to be true. McDonalds' has had to recall 12 million collectible Shrek drinking glasses because the vendor which the fast food firm hired to manufacture them apparently used cadmium, a toxic metal.
According to a Wall Street Journal piece, McDonalds had tested samples, which were found to have cadmium levels below then-existing federal standards.
Still, in this era, when thrift shops can't even take toys anymore because of concerns over lead-based paint and/or lead, how could McDonalds not see fallout from giving away children's curious containing the toxic metal?
Why do drinking glasses even have to contain cadmium?
I'm just shocked that the fast food giant which does so much so well would stumble over something so simple and obviously troublesome.
