Mcdonalds giving away Coke Glasses May contain lead‏

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA

McDonalds is giving away Coca Cola glasses with purchases this month of June 2009.

While washing one of these glasses I noticed that they make the sound that Crystal glasses do when you rub your wet finger across the rim. Crystal glasses are known to have high lead content. I suspect perhaps that these glasses may have lead as well; in addition to the fact that these glasses dont label where they are made!

How do we investigate this?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

I promise you they are not crystal.

I am also fairly certain that the lead in crystal glasses does not leech out of the material. Or else it wouldn't be used anymore.

How do we investigate this? Take the glass to a lab and pay to have them analyze it. Then you'll know for sure that McDonalds is not giving away crystal glassware that is leaching lead.

I have glassware in my house that makes the same sound; I assure you it's not crystal. Enjoy your musical cup!

Do you know what leaded crystal COSTS?

Unless you're paying $50 for your Big Mac, not even McDonalds can afford to give away leaded crystal glasses as a premium.
