McDonald's 'Shrek Forever After' 16 oz collectible drinking glasses made in United States and distributed by McDonald's Restaurants of Canada are being recalled. The glasses come in four different characters: Shrek, Fiona, Puss n' Boots, and Donkey. It is the designs on the glass that contains cadmium and long term exposure to cadmium can cause adverse health effects. This glassware was tested and determined to be in full compliance with Canadian requirements for heavy metals including cadmium.
So far, neither McDonald's Canada nor Health Canada has received reports of illnesses related to the use of these glasses. Approximately 1.4 million of the recalled glasses were sold exclusively at McDonald's restaurants across Canada starting May 10th to June 4th, 2010.
