Zhu Zhu Pets are robotic hamsters. They are like the real thing only you don't have to actually feed them or clean up after them. Zhu Zhu Pets unsafe rumors are based on the materials used to make the toys rather than the psychological ramifications. What do you think of children playing with robots rather than real live critters?
Zhu Zhu Pets unsafe statements also have nothing to do with the trend factor involved. Every year there seems to be "must have" toy attached to plenty of controversy. Do you remember Tickle Me Elmo, Beanie Babies and Cabbage Patch Kids?
These $10 Zhu Zhu Pets have parents stressed out trying to find them and figure out whether they are safe to play with. Will children forget them a day or two after the holidays?
The Zhu Zhu Pets unsafe claims are based upon the elevated levels of tin and antimony discovered by the group Good Guide. Heavy metals are harmful when ingested.
Children notoriously put things in their mouth whether they're supposed to or not. Zhu Zhu Pets unsafe rumors are based on higher levels of tin and antimony but the Cepia LLC company claims they are safe. At this time, there is no Zhu Zhu Pets recall.
However, the crisis has everyone asking about Zhu Zhu Pets unsafe rumors and the validity behind them. Popcrunch reports the Consumer Product Safety Commission has opened an investigation of Zhu Zhu Pets unsafe claims.
The agency released a statement, "CPSC is looking into the Zhu Zhu Pet toy and we will complete our review swiftly. With new safety measures in place for children and toy recalls down from previous years, consumers can have greater confidence when shopping this year and in the CPSC."
At this time, it cannot be said whether Zhu Zhu Pets unsafe rumors are true or not. I look forward to the report from the CPSC to determine whether Zhu Zhu Pets will remain on my daughter's Christmas list.
