Health Canada is investigating suspected counterfeit toothpaste found in Southern Ontario that is similar to a product at the centre of a health recall throughout the United States because of fears it contains an ingredient used in antifreeze.
Steve Janke, 40, bought a tube of what purports to be Colgate brand toothpaste labelled as being manufactured in South Africa from a dollar store in Guelph, Ont. (Globe & Mail)
I'm glad Health Canada is on top on this story, but frankly Mr. Janke, if you are buying anything at the dollar store other than bags of Yum-Yum Barbeque chips, you might just be getting what you deserve.

Actually speaking of Yum-Yum chips, do you remember the ads on French TV with Mado Lamotte as spokesperson?

Nope, can't say I remember those ads. He/she is a good spokesperson for a tacky product though.
I haven't, in the past, checked my chip bags for signs of counterfeit, but all that happy-go-lucky freedom must now end.
