Zhu Zhu Hamster Cleared by Tests

Christmas is saved! After a brief controversy over possibly unsafe levels of antimony in this holiday season's hot item, the Zhu Zhu hamster toy, GoodGuide.com acknowledged that its methodology, which tested the product's surface, differed from that of federal regulators, who test chemical solubility, and that it should not have compared its results against federal standards. The Consumer Product Safety Commission also weighed in, saying that it was "taking a serious look at this product," but that the antimony standard "has not been exceeded in the case of this toy." According to a Wall Street Journal source, there will not be a Zhu Zhu recall based on its antimony levels.
