McDonald's Shrek Glassware Recall

McDonald's Canada has issued a voluntary recall on the four "Shrek Forever After" glass cups. The decision comes after McDonald's USA discovered traces of cadmium in the paint used to etch the figures on the cups. To date, no injuries or fatalities have occurred because of McDonald's proactive move. The company is urging children not to drink from the cups any further and to dispose or request a refund.

Refunds are available at all McDonald's restaurants. Simply request your refund at the counter or with the manager. Canadians can also call 1-877-495-5502 Monday to Friday from 8 AM to midnight EST, and Saturday 10 AM to 6 PM EST for questions or concerns; the phone line is bilingual.

Health Canada said the levels of cadmium detected were safe by current standards, but McDonald's Canada made the recall for precautionary measures. American standards recently changed for cadmium making these levels unsafe.
