""McDonald's Recalls 12 million 'Shrek' Glasses Due to Cadmium Contamination" On Friday, June 4th, McDonald's, the world's largest food chain, recalled 12 million of their new "Shrek" drinking glasses, due to cadmium contamination. This came after an anonymous tip to Congresswoman Jackie Speier (D-Hillsborough) in California. The fast food restaurant had released four different designs of Shrek, Princess Fiona, Puss in Boots and Donkey, selling for $1.99 each to promote the newest Shrek movie. It is not immediately known how the cadmium wound up in the paint. "A very small amount of cadmium can come to the surface of the glass, and in order to be as protective as possible of children, CPSC and McDonald's worked together on this recall," stated CPSC spokesman Scott Wolfson. Cadmium is an element found naturally in nature, and used to make red and yellow paint. It is severely toxic, even in small amounts. Long-term exposure can cause severe damage to the human body. Small exposure can lead to flu-like symptoms, including muscle aches, chills, and fever. Continued exposure can cause bronchitis and pneumonia. Prolonged exposure can lead to the severe health risks, including fatal kidney damage, bone damage, lung damage, and increased risk of cancer."
