The McDonald鈥檚 recall of 12 million Shrek-themed cadmium-tainted glasses put a damper on the promotion of 鈥�Shrek Forever After.鈥� The cadmium in the paint on the glasses could cause 鈥渁dverse health effects,鈥� according to the CPSC, which announced the recall in June.
However, Consumer Reports ranked this recall as less severe than those previously mentioned because of the low dosage of cadmium and the lack of health complaints. 鈥淥f all of the recalls, this is the least serious,鈥� says Mays. 鈥淢cDonald鈥檚 did the right thing. They didn鈥檛 want to expose children to any risk.鈥�
For a few days after the recall, information on how to receive refunds from McDonald鈥檚 was a bit muddy.
