SAN FRANCISCO, CA (WSFA) - San Francisco's GoodGuide consumer group said the popular Zhu Zhu toy for kids contains a high level of a chemical that can cause health problems. The group assigned the hamster-like toy a rating of five on a ten point scale for the high levels of the chemical antimony present in the product.

The maker of the Zhu Zhu pets for kids, St. Louis-based Cepia insists its product is safe and has passed rigorous testing.
