Mcdonald's Shrek Glass Recall

The popular Shrek series is at an end, but will not be forgotten and neither will this now famous recall by Mcdonald's. I for one have bought all the glasses and have been using them since I got them. Well not anymore they will be returned to Mcdonald's promptly for a refund. It's very sad that my kids won't be enjoying them, but it's better to be safe than sorry. The designs include Donkey, Puss in Boots, Shrek and Princess Fiona. If you have them in your house do not let your family drink from them.

Just because there are no known incidents doesn't mean that these are safe to use. It can take time for the effects to show and it's best to not take any chances. Would you really take a chance at poisoning yourself over some glasses? This is labeled as a voluntary recall, but should be taken serious. They are recalling over 12 million glasses.

Currently I don't know, but I am really hoping that they do. I will surely miss my Puss In Boots Glass! That kitty is so adorable. I will post update once I find out any new information about a reissue. Update: Currently they will not be reissuing the glasses. Reselling an item that is recalled is against the law so don't try it.

We're not perfect and neither is China where the lead paint recalls came from. It's a huge pill to swallow when we all cried out in fear when we found lead in our children's toys that were made in China. Who will we blame for the Cadmium tainted glassware? McDonald's has a website up saying that the glassware is non toxic, but I don't buy it. How is it ok to have Cadmium in the paint? If they were sure it wasn't toxic then they should just stick by that claim and not speak of a recall on one side of their mouth and have the other side saying it's really safe.

McDonald's is telling the consumer to wait until June 8th for their instructions for getting your money back. The stores do not know what to do and most likely will not give you a refund. We're told to not even take them to the stores. They have a website that will tell you how to get your refund. It won't have that information until June 8th though. Check it out here

McDonald's has updated their site with instructions on how to get a refund. You'll have to wait until June 9th though. All you have to do is bring your glass or glasses into your local McDonald's and fill out a brief refund slip and you'll get $3. No receipt needed. That's one dollar more than you paid, but of course most of us had to pay sales tax so that makes up for it. I don't care for the refund slip, but I guess they need a record of the refund.
