FDA tests found antifreeze chemical; agency unsure if items are counterfeit.

Five-ounce tubes of toothpaste labeled Colgate and sold in discount stores in four states are being recalled because they may contain a poisonous chemical, according to the importer. A Food and Drug Administration official, Doug Arbesfeld, confirmed that testing had found the chemical in a product with the Colgate label. But he said the agency is unsure if it is really Colgate or a counterfeit.

LOL. At least up here in my part of the country most folks don’t have to worry about toothpaste poisoning, they don’t have teeth (grin).

Mandrake, have you never wondered why I drink only distilled water, or rain water, and only pure-grain alcohol? Mandrake: Well, it did occur to me, Jack, yes. Ripper: Have you ever heard of a thing called fluoridation. Fluoridation of water? Mandrake: Uh? Yes, I-I have heard of that, Jack, yes. Yes. Ripper: Well, do you know what it is? Mandrake: No, no I don't know what it is, no. Ripper: Do you realize that fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous Communist plot we have ever had to face?

I use only toothpastes without fluoride - and/or baking soda with a bit of salt. I mostly use good old fashioned tooth powder, but it;s hard to find now...altho’ it seems to be having a comeback due to the restrictions of carrying gels on planes. Yippee.

Lehman’s has always carried it -

http://www.lehmans.com/jump.jsp?itemType=PRODUCT&itemID=6158

and here’s a couple links to more - (I find tooth powder makes my teeth feel cleaner that any pastes or gels...and pastes and gels contain the carrageen simply for a binding agent - has no cleaning properties. Maybe that’s why powders seem to clean better? they just have the cleaning agents in them)

I really like Thom’s of Maine’s - or any other - toothpaste that have myrrh in them - there’s a reason myrrh was including as one of the Magi’s gifts, equated in value with frankincense and gold. It’s an excellent antibacterial agent. (Did you read that warning on your toothpaste tube yet?) ;o)

Do you realize that in addition to fluoridating water, why, there are studies underway to fluoridate salt, flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar, milk, ice cream? Ice cream, Mandrake? Children's ice cream!...You know when fluoridation began?...1946. 1946, Mandrake. How does that coincide with your post-war Commie conspiracy, huh? It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual, and certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works.

Well now, I’m shocked. (sarc)

I just looked up MS USA Trading Inc. at

https://accessnet.state.nj.us/gatewaywatchnamesearch.asp

Business name search for the state of NJ. I got:

‘There were no records found that meet your search criteria.’

I tried to look up the phone number, nothing.

There is a top importer about a block over from them called MARAN CORP. But I can’t find anything else on MS USA Trading.

Odd.

We should all do this. Open a paper business, take out loans, declare bankruptcy and run with the loot.

NJ use to have this info available. Now they want to charge a fee for it.

I’m starting to think NJ is a paper business too.

There IS a poison control number on toothpaste.

I'm looking at a brand new unopened box of real Colgate w/fluoride, baking soda & peroxide right now.
There is NO poison control phone number on it anywhere. There is a number for Questions or comments. If you'd like to call them its 800-468-6502 but they're probably quite busy with weirdos and cranks whining about the counterfeit stuff.
