ToothPaste Question???

On the news, (i live in Oklahoma) the said that some of the ToothPaste that was made in China and in other area had %26quot;pestisides%26quot; in it. Did anyone else hear about this? I checked mine and it come from the USA. Please share any info about this situation....Thanks

ToothPaste Question???
It has been on TV,local news(radio and TV) and 60 minutes did a piece on this problem.


Colgate is the brand that is fraudulent and faulty!


No where does it say made in the USA or endorsed by the American Dental Society/Association.


All where purchased in cheap discount stores (for the present time) such as %26quot;family dollar, dollar stores%26quot;.


An ongoing problem,recalled and to be destroyed. Not the first nor do they expect it to be the last time it happens.


* Remember the scare w/pet foods, snacks,now this!





Check your local TV web sites under health or recalls ; news should be there to read.





It will teach us the hard way, cheap isn%26#039;t always the choice nor should we forget to read the labels.

FDA Advises Consumers to Avoid Toothpaste From China





FDA Detains One Contaminated Shipment, Issues Import Alert





The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) today warned consumers to avoid using tubes of toothpaste labeled as made in China, and issued an import alert to prevent toothpaste containing the poisonous chemical diethylene glycol (DEG) from entering the United States.





DEG is used in antifreeze and as a solvent.





Consumers should examine toothpaste products for labeling that says the product is made in China. Out of an abundance of caution, FDA suggests that consumers throw away toothpaste with that labeling. FDA is concerned that these products may contain %26quot;diethylene glycol,%26quot; also known as %26quot;diglycol.%26quot;





FDA is not aware of any U.S. reports of poisonings from toothpaste containing DEG. However, the agency is concerned about potential risks from chronic exposure to DEG and exposure to DEG in certain populations, such as children and individuals with kidney or liver disease. DEG in toothpaste has a low but meaningful risk of toxicity and injury to these populations. Toothpaste is not intended to be swallowed, but FDA is concerned about unintentional swallowing or ingestion of toothpaste containing DEG.





FDA has identified the following brands of toothpaste from China that contain DEG and are included in the import alert: Cooldent Fluoride; Cooldent Spearmint; Cooldent ICE; Dr. Cool, Everfresh Toothpaste; Superdent Toothpaste; Clean Rite Toothpaste; Oralmax Extreme; Oral Bright Fresh Spearmint Flavor; Bright Max Peppermint Flavor; ShiR Fresh Mint Fluoride Paste; DentaPro; DentaKleen; and DentaKleen Junior. Manufacturers of these products are: Goldcredit International Enterprises Limited; Goldcredit International Trading Company Limited; and Suzhou City Jinmao Daily Chemicals Company Limited. The products typically are sold at low-cost, “bargain” retail outlets.
Reply:There was a news segment that said don%26#039;t buy toothpaste at dollar stores because it might have come from China and other countries that don%26#039;t have our standards. They said if your toothpaste is from the US or Canada then it%26#039;s ok.
