St. Louis, Dec 7 (THAINDIAN NEWS) The United States Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) has begun an investigation into whether Zhu Zhu Pets are safe or not. This step has been taken because a California safety organization, Good Guide, has found higher than recommended levels of antimony and tin in the popular toys Zhu Zhu’s. they are in high demand too because the festive season is around the corner and they are a popular gifting idea too.

However the company Cepia, which imports these toys from China, stands behind its products, it said in a statement. “All our products are subjected to several levels of rigorous safety testing conducted by our own internal teams, as well as the world’s leading independent quality assurance testing organization, and also by independent labs engaged by our retail partners,” Russ Hornsby, CEO of Cepia, said in a written statement. “The results of every test prove that our products are in compliance with all government and industry safety standards.”

The company’s CEO, Russ Hornsby said that “The results of every test prove that our products are in compliance with all government and industry safety standards.” The company also has, on its website, a blurb titled “Correction of Misleading Testing Information,” which tells you everything you need to know about what Cepia thinks of Good Guide’s testing.

One of the versions of the toy is Mister Squiggles, which is the light-brown version of the hamsters, has unsafe levels of antimony, said Dara O’Rourke, co-founder of GoodGuide.

And this dangerous chemical can cause cancer, lung and heart problems, according to GoodGuide. “We found levels of about 93 to 106 parts per million,” O’Rourke said. “The new federal standard is about 60 parts per million.”
