Cadmium
MILLVILLE, N.J. - A recall of 12 million cadmium-tainted "Shrek" drinking glasses sold by McDonald's raises questions about the safety of millions of similar cheap promotional products that have been sitting in Americans' kitchen cabinets for years.
NEW YORK - Among the recalled items this week are McDonald's drinking glasses with Shrek figures on them containing cadmium in the paint, and more than a million dishwashers from Whirlpool Corp.'s Maytag division that could catch on fire.
MILLVILLE, N.J. - The New Jersey company that makes the "Shrek"-themed drinking glasses recalled by McDonald's because they contain cadmium says it only learned of the problem late Thursday and is looking into it.
LOS ANGELES - Cadmium has been discovered in the painted design on "Shrek"-themed drinking glasses being sold nationwide at McDonald's, forcing the burger giant to recall 12 million of the cheap U.S.-made collectibles while dramatically expanding contamination concerns about the toxic metal beyond imported children's jewelry.
