Did Anyone Read The Colgate Fake Toothpaste Warning?

“Colgate-Palmolive Co. on Thursday said counterfeit “Colgate” toothpaste that may contain a toxic chemical had been found in discount stores in four U.S. states.” Apparently coming from China. Call me prejudice but I’m starting to dislike this country more and more. It is said that they have been adding DEG. This crap is found in solvents and antifreeze.

    Tainted Toothpaste: Time is Ticking on the Colgate-Palmolive Crisis of 2007
    The nobosh Bottom Line
    In a case reminiscent of the Tylenol Crisis of 1982, Colgate’s toothpaste brand is suddenly under serious jeopardy. Will consumers understand the situation and continue to buy Colgate?…http://www.nobosh.com/Article/Tainted-To…

    wow, thanks for the information. I’m getting ready to do my research on that right now. I just bought some colgate toothpaste the other day. I’m so glad I stopped in to read this question. our country can produce toothpaste right here in our homeland. this is just ridiculous and outrageous. they’re going to kill us one way or the other.

    I use Colgate. Thanks for the warning. Perhaps it’s time to try another brand. Though I wonder if one factory makes several brands.
