McDonalds Recall 2010: Shrek Glass Recall Return the Glass to get Refund. A McDonald’s spokesman, Walt Riker, said in an interview: “We’ve had a good, constructive two-way dialogue with the congresswoman’s office and with the Consumer Product Safety Commission.”

Although Speier commended McDonald’s for acting quickly, her office said the fast-food giant and other corporations must “do a better job of thoroughly reviewing their domestic and international supply chains to keep products with potentially dangerous elements from ever hitting their shelves.”

It was not immediately known where the glasses were produced or how the paint used in the “Shrek” characters came to contain cadmium.

The commission declined to comment Thursday evening. In the past, the commission has warned manufacturers to avoid cadmium in children’s products, and last month it ordered the recall of children’s jewelry contaminated by the toxic metal.

White Gummy Bear Martini this Christmas Season. Rim your cocktail glass. Take your bar sugar and rim a chilled martini glass. Do this by taking a lemon slice and wiping it along the edge of the glass. This will moisten the glass, then dip into the sugar. Shake off any additional sugar.

Combine ingredients. In a shaker, combine 4 parts lemon flavored rum, 2 parts vodka, 1 part Southern Comfort, 1/2 teaspoon of dry vermouth and a dash of lemon juice. Add ice to the shaker, and cap the top.

Shake, shake, shake. Shake the drink for at least 30 seconds to mix the flavors. Pour the drink. Using the strainer, pour the drink into your chilled, rimmed glass. Using the standard shot glass for measuring, this makes 2 Gummy Bear Martinis.

Sprinkle a few Gummy Bears into your drink. They will add a festive quality to your drink.
