Posted on Tuesday, June 8th, 2010 at 6:12 am    

McDonald's recalls four Shrek promo glasses because there was toxic cadmium in the paint on them. This issue has called for a voluntary recall by the U.S. Product Safety Commission.

The paint on the glasses would not cause immediate harm to the children, but could cause long-term harm if the paint came off on the children's hands and they ingested it. The effected Shrek glasses include Shrek, Princess Fiona, Puss in Boots and Donkey.

Cadmium is used in rechargeable batteries, plastics and the manufacture of plastics. It is thought by officials that seven million of the Shrek glasses have been sold.

Laxative revenge leads to criminal charges

Posted on Friday, June 4th, 2010 at 5:20 am    

Criminal charges have been filed against a 37-year-old student of the University of Wisconsin Marathon County following a bad revenge prank. Up to a $10,000 fine and 42-month prison term can come with a conviction of placing a foreign object in food.

According to the police investigation, the student placed some cookies for her Bacteriology 101 professor to find before the class's final exam, which took place on December 18, 2009. The professor, seeing what appeared to be a gift, ate one of the cookies following the test. Instead of a gesture of good will, the cookies contained half of a box of laxatives. She fell ill the next day, which was supposed to be part of a trip to southern California.

The professor admitted that she was unpopular with students, as they thought her class involved too much difficult work and testing, but that this sort of thing was unexpected. She noted that she was only still in Wausau at the time because of a contract she had signed with the university. Since the incident, she has moved to California.

The student confessed to the crime, also saying that she had been the only one involved in the plot. She said that she regretted her decision almost immediately after making it.

Preliminary hearings for student's upcoming trial will commence July 6.

If you or someone you know has been a victim of somebody's anger, you may be eligible for legal recourse. The best course of action is not to act on feelings of revenge, but to get in touch with an experienced team of legal experts that can make sure you are within your rights.
