McDonald’s Corp., the world’s largest restaurant chain, will stop giving out Hello Kitty figurines or any other toys with its Happy Meals in San Francisco starting tomorrow because of a new city ordinance.
“A law was passed recently which means we cannot give away a free toy with our Happy Meals” at the 19 McDonald’s stores in San Francisco, Danya Proud, a spokeswoman, said in an e-mailed statement today. Beginning tomorrow, parents will have the option to buy a toy separately for 10 cents when they purchase a Happy Meal or Mighty Kids Meal, she said.
