Company Disney and studio Lucasfilm found themselves in the center of a high-profile scandal, which may have a negative impact on their future activities. We are talking about the production of merchandise based on the series “Star Wars: The Mandalorian“(Star Wars: The Mandalorian).
In a pandemic Mickey Mouse House decided to make some money on the fans of the universe George Lucasby launching themed sanitizers for children (with rubber cover). Here are just cute bottles with a picture baby Yoda (Grogu) can provoke premature death.
Pharmaceutical company Valisure tested 260 different sanitizers. Questions arose to 15 brands, among which there was a line Star Wars Mandalorian from company Best Brand (Disney partner). We are talking about a significant excess of the proportion of benzene in the product (two times).
Valisure has already asked to intervene United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). However, suppliers are required to test the product before entering the stores. Disney representatives have not yet commented on the situation, but the company has already demanded that Best Brand remove the product from store shelves until additional tests are performed.
Benzene is considered a dangerous poison that can cause drug addiction. World health organization (WHO) also recognized the liquid as a carcinogen (can cause cancer), which is as dangerous to the body as asbestos.
As stated in New York University Grossman School of Medicine, due to the pandemic, the FDA has temporarily relaxed its standards for the limit of benzene in sanitizers in order to speed up the supply of products. Many customers weren’t even aware that a disinfectant could be dangerous.
Specifically, the liquid for the Star Wars Mandalorian brand was produced in Mexico, and deliveries began in 2023. Obviously, the target audience for Disney and Best Brand sanitizers was kids and fans. “Star Wars“The greatest health risks were for cleaners and doctors, who are forced to constantly use sanitizers. In the future, they may face blood diseases and leukemia.
The passive reaction of Disney and Lucasfilm, which has been slow to make public statements, is surprising. Edition Bloomberg published material based on a study by Valisure last week, and the scandal began to rise on March 29.
What is Mickey Mouse House doing? Announces cast of the series “Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi“! Some see this as a red herring, but it is unlikely that Disney and Lucasfilm will be able to hush up the scandal when the third wave of the pandemic gains strength in the world.
