Congresswoman Jackie Speier of California got the ball rolling on the Shrek glass recall after receiving an anonymous tip.
Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), who in turn tested the Shrek glasses and found that there was indeed cadmium in the paint. Cadmium itself is a toxic metal that can cause kidney, lung, intestinal and bone damage. McDonald’s has not released information as to where the Shrek glasses were produced, and it is currently unknown why the paint used would contain cadmium.
At the urging of the CPSC, McDonald’s enacted the Shrek glass recall. Those who have already purchased the Shrek glasses are advised to keep them out of the reach of children and return them to McDonald’s for a full refund.
