If you bought Shrek drinking glasses at McDonald's, the restaurant wants them back. It wants them back so badly that it is paying $3 per glass, up to $1.01 more than customers spent for them.
The 12 million glasses, painted with characters from the film "Shrek Forever After," were recalled June 4 after California Congresswoman Jackie Spier passed along an anonymous tip she received to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Cadmium is a heavy metal that can cause health problems with long-term exposure.
McDonald's distributed about 7.5 million of the glasses, and it is offering the unusual financial incentive of reimbursing customers more than they spent in hopes of getting them all back. To get the refund, customers merely have to bring the glasses back to any McDonald's restaurant (inside only) and fill out a form, no receipt required. McDonald's has created a page to explain the process (http://www.aboutmcdonalds.com/mcd/our_company/mcd_faq/shrek_glasses_recall.html).
