The fast food restaurant is handing out "Kidz Bop" music CDs with Happy Meals.
Some parents complain that on one of them, a phrase that sounds like the singers are saying the f-word can be heard.
McDonald's stands by the CD, saying it would never include a lyric, word, or song inappropriate for children.
Statement from McDonald's:
"We are excited about the energy the Kidz Bop brand brings to Happy Meals during this promotional period with songs "sung by kids for kids."
As with all Happy Meal promotions, premiums are available, while supplies last. It appears that the success of this promotion has resulted in some Atlanta-area McDonald's restaurants not having certain CDs available. This however is not a result of McDonald's pulling the CDs, as previously suggested.
Kidz Bop carefully chooses the songs featured on all Kidz Bop CDs, including those songs in the current Happy Meal, to ensure both the subject matter and lyrics are appropriate for our youngest guests. McDonald's further ensures the song selections are consistent with the stringent standards that we attribute to all of our Happy Meal toy offerings. We greatly value the high standards that families hold us to, and we would never include a lyric, word, or song that is inappropriate to children of any age.
As with any offering, parents will need to make the final determination about what is appropriate for their family. We know families have a high level of trust in McDonald's. We look forward to continuing to serve families in the manner they have come to expect from McDonald's. "
