“The Princess and the Frog” themed products, put out by Disney and distributed in Wal-Mart stores across the country were recalled recently because they were filled with dangerous levels of cadmium. The products in question were a crown and a pendant shaped like a frog. A fictional Disney spokesmen reached for comment said, “We were hoping that children would wear the crown and the pendant and that the entire time they were wearing them they wouldn’t get brain damage, but then the opposite happened.”
The products were made in China where children eat cadmium on a daily basis as a sacrifice to the People’s Republic to make room for new apartment complexes and online computer game cafes.
China has a long history of general neglect when it comes to product safety, including such ill-fated products as “Radiation Ensconced Barbie”, “Baby Burp-N-Change-N-Rusted Sharp Edges”, and “SpongeBob Squarepants: Now with Live Angry Raccoon.”
The continued and alarming lack of product safety is due partly to a completely non-transparent government that rules over the country with an iron fist, and a recent and panicky industrial revolution that is expanding so rapidly that concerns about the welfare of citizens both internally and abroad has taken a backseat to economic concerns. On the bright side? “The Spy Next Door” is now in theaters.
