Diethylene glycol, a poisonous ingredient in some antifreeze, has been found in 6,000 tubes of toothpaste in Panama, and customs officials there said Friday that the product appeared to have originated in China.

Thought you'd be interested in yet another case.

Everything that is for personal human use should have detailed information of country of origin. But that doesn’t fit globalist protocol.

Baking soda can be used as toothpaste.

Delgado, the director of Panamanian customs, said the Dominican authorities had been notified to be on the lookout for the suspect toothpaste.

In Panama, the poison was detected by a consumer who called the pharmacy and drugs section of the health ministry to report having seen diethylene glycol listed as an ingredient in toothpaste at a store in downtown Panama City.

The ministry fined the store $25,000 and ordered it closed for not following proper procedures in putting products up for sale.

The government knows about it, allows the international trade, and is responsible to protect the public. An ordinary citizen finds it, and the government fines the retailer. Only the government and the internationalists profit. The future looks bleak for Panama and any other country on this model, like US.

And your congressman and Senator does not give a damn .

With all the perks Congress gets from Wall Street, what would you expect?

It is time to require extreme QA testing of all products from China—in the US where we can monitor it. I’m not happy that we are trading with China, but if we wish to continue we had better make them verify that what they are selling us actually is what they say it is. And if that makes it hard for them to trade with us, then tough!

Very interesting. Thanks for posting.

[television is just wrong]

bombed saddam’s country, killed his sons, and his country put him on trial and he was hung for less. WOW, Gotta end this ridiculous trade agreement.

Makes me wonder about “Equate” brand at Walmart.

You'll wonder where
The yellow went
When you brush your teeth
With wet cement.

(Kids version of Pepsodent ad from back in the day.)

Interesting. First the Chinese make dog and cat food that is poison. The FTC and other branches of government down play that.

Now toothpaste made by the Chinese kills humans in Panama.

We think it is a “dry run” when 2 Imams get on a airliner and act weird... but never kill anyone.

Now if some evil foreign government entity was testing how quickly the supply chain to the western hemisphere got poison to the consumers how might they do that? Lot’s of animals died in the U.S. A few humans died in a central American country just south of us.

Dry run’s?

Hmmmmmm

Diethylene glycol poisoning was the reason the US enacted the FFD&C act.
