Cadmium, a carcinogen has been found on McDonald’s Shrek glasses. The fast food giant voluntarily recalled 12 million of the US-made, movie-themed collectibles.  The Shrek glass recall also raises concerns about cadmium contamination in imported children’s jewelry.

Research shows that long-term exposure to cadmium, which is used to create reds and yellows in paint, can cause adverse health affects, including softening of the bones and severe kidney problems.  According to an article by the Huffington Post, CPSC spokesman Scott Wolfson said “A very small amount of cadmium can come to the surface of the glass, and in order to be as protective as possible of children, CPSC and McDonald’s worked together on this recall.”

Manufacturers of all kinds, not just glassware producers, can prevent a recall of this magnitude by closely tracking their materials sources with an ERP system such as Microsoft Dynamics NAV.

At least 23 people have now fallen ill from an uncommon strain of E.Coli in the  romaine lettuce recall.

Some fear the outbreak may get worse before it gets better; the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports cases in four states: Tennessee, Michigan, Ohio, and New York.  Authorities are investigating a farm near Yuma, Arizona, as the suspected source of the tainted lettuce.  The recalled lettuce was sold to wholesalers, food service outlets, in-store salad bars and delis; consumers are now being warned to stay away from “grab and go” salads sold at salad bars and delis.
