Have you heard of the new toy that kids want so badly to have this Christmas? It’s Zhu Zhu Pets, and they are the hottest toys around! They’re said to be the best alternatives to real hamsters. They don’t poop, die, or stink!

But as you may know there have been questions about Zhu Zhu Pets safety.

After recent tests, Zhu Zhu Pets were said to have a chemical called antimony. Too much of this toxic chemical can give people cancer, or problems with their heart and lungs.

After all the commotion of hearing this scary news, the company that makes Zhu Zhu Pets decided to take the test again. The second time the results came back the Zhu Zhu Pets were said to be 100% safe.

So all of you who were asking for a Zhu Zhu Pet for Christmas, but your parents were worried about its safety, don’t worry. Go get a Zhu Zhu Pet for yourself! If you can find one.

After all who doesn’t want a pet you dont have to clean up after?
