LOS ANGELES — Zhu Zhu Pets, one of the holiday season’s hottest toy crazes, do not violate safety standards, federal toy regulators said Monday after a consumer group raised concerns over the presence of a heavy metal on one model. The toy “is not out of compliance” with U.S. toy-safety laws, a spokesman for the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said. The agency did not test the toy.
The California-based group GoodGuide raised concerns over the presence of potentially harmful antimonyl in the toy hamsters. But those claims fell apart Monday, when GoodGuide said the way it got its test results was faulty. The company apologized. The Associated Press
