[Usa] Shrek Glasses Tested By Sgcdpro

The Society of Glass & Ceramic Decorated Products (SGCDpro) recently had an independent (non-member) lab perform tests on samples of recently recalled Shrek glass. Two different tests were performed. The CPSC wipe test yielded no cadmium release from the glasses. In addition, the more commonly used acid leach test - typically referred to as the Massachusetts test - showed the glasses to be safe. The CPSC has been sent a copy of the results but has offered no comment. It is important to note that SGCDpro test protocol included the appropriate measure of washing the glasses prior to testing to remove any environmental cadmium that may have been introduced during handling, shipping & distribution.
