I saw this posted and I thought I would share with any of my friends who had bought these. For those that don't know they have been recalled due to high levels cadmium in the paint used to decorate the glasses. http://www.walletpop.com/blog/2010/06/09/mcdonalds-offers-3-refund-in-shrek-glasses-recall/

I was tempted to get them as $2 is a fair amount and I remember collecting them when I was a kid. But I guess I'm thankful I didn't buy them as I'd love to have them but glass & small kids don't mix the best.

3snugglebunnies why on earth do they have to use toxic materials in things that children will use, it makes no sense to me at all.. I am glad that they recalled those glasses and sham on them for u sing toxic chemicals on things we drink out of. wow. shame.

They use them because they are CHEAP materials! And the cheaper they can make them the better for their bottom line I'm afraid.

Thank you for the thread Snugglebunnies. I immediately messaged and posted it on my Facebook wall. Because I was reading my cousin's status a while ago. And she was telling someone, she had to buy all the Shrek toys at McDonalds for her daughter...And she was searching for a Gingerbread watch...etc...And as I read your discussion..It's almost as if an alarm rang in me...Thank you so much...We can never be too cautious...(^^,)
