McDonald's Recalls Shrek Glasses
McDonald's has recalled some 2 million Shrek drinking glasses because the paint contains low levels of cadmium, which is toxic. Although the levels of cadmium in the drinking glasses is said to be "only slightly above" what is considered "acceptable" levels, a McDonald's spokesperson said they were recalling them "out of an abundance of caution."
Experts worry that the cadmium could rub-off onto children's hands, then be transferred to their mouths. They do not know the effects of long-time exposure to low levels of cadmium. Customers are being warned to quit using the glasses immediately.
Shrek Forever After, the final movie in the series, opened at #1 in America last weekend.

Shrek Shatters Records
Were it not for a certain webslinger, Shrek the Third would have smashed box office records this past weekend. As it stands, the movie still set a new record for biggest animated movie opening and the third biggest opening weekend of all time. Of course, the new Pirates of the Caribbean opens this coming weekend, which is expected to set records as well.
According to several sources, this is the biggest movie summer of all time so far. Also up this season, the new Harry Potter installment is expected to draw huge crowds. With so many big movies this season, it's good to see 28 Weeks Later hold onto the #3 position, with Spider-Man 3 falling to second place. Disturbia is the big surprise, having held onto the top position longer than any of the other big draws that have opened so far, and still remains in the top five.
