Zhu Zhu pets contain toxic chemicals

The hottest toy of the holiday season is the Zhu Zhu pets hamster. The toy has been found to contain tin, antimony, and bromine. Antimony is a chemical used in the hardening of metals as well as making plastics flame resistant. Antimony can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and heavy poison can eventually lead to liver and kidney failure. The poisoning can become a problem for children and pets if pieces of the toy are eaten and go unnoticed. The Zhu Zhu pet is not being recalled at this time but needs further testing from 3rd party research groups.
