May - Shrek glass recall: Toxic cadmium found on glasses

Some 12 million Shrek-themed glasses sold exclusively by the fast-food giant from May through June were recalled Friday. It turns out that the cartoon designs on the $2 glasses contain cadmium, a toxic chemical associated with industrial metal processing.

Long-term exposure to the substance can lead to “adverse health effects,” said the Consumer Protection Safety Commission (CPSC) in a statement.
