Shrek glasses, not first recall for McDonalds
(A&P Press, reported by Lenny Harris)
— Fast food giant McDonald’s Corp. announced last week that it is recalling over 12 million of its new “Shrek Forever After” glasses because dangerous levels of the metal cadmium have been detected in the decorative paint used for the images. McDonalds said it is ordering the recall in collaboration with the U.S. Consumer product Safety Board (CPSC) as a precautionary measure. This is not the first recall for McDonalds, here is a list of the others:
2010- Promotional toy dragon for the movie How to Train Your Dragon was found to leak napalm used for “authentic fire breathing”
2008-Joker helicopter included in Batman Happy meals was made of used syringes
2003-Spy Kids Happy meals included radioactive uranium yellowcake
1998-Toys for the Mulan Happy meal were found to be made of Chinese dissidents
1993- Flintstones coffee mug exploded when hot liquid was poured into it
1977-Grimace drinking glasses found to be made entirely out of cancer
ugh! 
Don’t forget the Little Mermaid Ariel action figure, which contained unsafe levels of mercury.
Dude! The cancer from those Grimace glasses is now a collectors item classic—-as long as the glass and cancer are still together!

Wasn’t Benny Agbayani originally scheduled to write this story and Lenny had to take over at the last minute?
