Zhu Zhu Pets were the "must have" toys on the market for the 2009 / 2010 holiday season. Stores could not keep enough of these toys in stock. They limited the number that a customer could purchase.http://www.virtualgoodsnews.com/2010/01/cepia-llc-zhu-zhu-pets-vp-marketing-natalie-hornsby-to-keynote-engage-conference.html

There was some talk of a Zhu Zhu Pet recall because of testing data gathered by Good Guide. A metal called Antimony was found in the fur of one of the Zhu Zhu Pets named Mr Squiggles. Cephia LLC maintains that its products passed all the tests required by the consumer protection agencies.http://www.pamil-visions.net/pr-nightmare-for-cepia/29140/
