We're All Goners

Earlier in the year, 12 million Shrek glasses from kids meals had to be recalled due to toxic traces of lead in them. But it's not just the kids who are at risk...it's every kid from the last 50 years!

After the Shrek debacle, a specially commissioned test of 35 different drinking glasses made between the late 1960s to present day...and they all exceeded the federal limits on lead in children's products BY UP TO 1000 TIMES. The designs range from Star Wars to Superman and Batman to The Wizard Of Oz, and were not just sold through fast food chains, but also at the Disney Store and online through Coca-Cola.

In addition to seven highly contaminated glasses, 10 others raised concern over longer-term contact (two for both lead and cadmium, five for lead only and three for cadmium only). How much contact could cause a problem?

If half of what gets onto a child's hand enters their mouth, as the CPSC calculates, seven of the glasses would require fewer than 20 hand touches for kids age six and under to exceed U.S. Food and Drug Administration guidelines for the maximum amount of lead they should ingest in a day.

Shit. And I bet most of you possessed at least one or two of these. I had that damn Lando Calrissian glass from Burger King through college.
