From another report on this incident:
“All the recalled jewelry was made in China. The drinking glasses are the first American-made products to be recalled.
“Wolfson said the recalled glasses have “far less cadmium” than the recalled jewelry. He would not say how much cadmium leached from the glasses in tests, only that it was “slightly above the protective level currently being developed by the agency.”
“Arc is a French company with a plant in New Jersey; its origins as a glassmaker date to 1825. The company said that it has been making glasses for McDonald’s for 15 years and that levels of cadmium used in the enamel baked into the glass were within current federal safety guidelines.
“Biagi, Arc’s vice president of North American sales, said the company was surprised and confused when it got word of the recall Thursday night.
“Our feeling is these glasses are safe,” Biagi said.
“Biagi said the images on the glasses were made with enamel baked into them rather than paint, a common process. HE DID NOT IDENTIFY ARC’S SUPPLIERS.”

It’ll be interesting to see who the supplier was, if it is ever divulged.
Heard anything about this?
Yes, it will be!
