Zhu Zhu Pets Toxic: Safety Group

California consumer safety group Good Guide has done testing on some of this year's hottest holiday toys, and Zhu Zhu Pets, perhaps the hottest toy of the season, have been found to contain quantities of toxic materials. Shades of the Chinese toy scandals from just two years ago.

Good Guide independently tests products for the presence of toxic chemicals. It said Zhu Zhu Pet Hamsters tested positive for higher than acceptable levels of the metals antimony and tin. Zhu Zhu Pets, however, are so popular that they remain sold out at many retailers.

Antimony poisoning is very similar to arsenic poisoning. It can cause headache, dizziness, and depression in small doses. Larger doses can cause violent and frequent vomiting, and eventual death. Tin is also a heavy metal and can cause similar symptoms and poisoning.

Zhu Zhu Pets are manufactured in China (where else?) and distributed by Cepia in the U.S. Good Guide assigned the toy a rating of 5.2 on a 10-point scale. Cepia defended the safety of Zhu Zhu pets in a statement.

GoodGuide apologized for any confusion and inconvenience that they may had caused consumers. They made wrong tests and confirm that Zhu Zhu Pets are safe.
And Cepia said “We wouldn’t be able to ship. The product what we are shipping, if it hadn’t passed all testing regulations, these products are tested and retested during the process."

If you want to buy property for investment and capital growth potential, then you need to consider investing in Costa Rica real estate.

Costa Rican real estate prices have been rising for years, and as more foreign buyers look at investing in Costa Rican real estate, prices look set to soar. Already prices in some areas are booming - and many properties have doubled in value in just two years! Costa Rica real estate
