Today in Scary Toothpaste News

NEW YORK — — Colgate-Palmolive Co. [CL-N] said Thursday counterfeit "Colgate" toothpaste that may contain a toxic chemical had been found in discount stores in four U.S. states.

Colgate-Palmolive said the counterfeit toothpaste was found in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland. It can be recognized because it is labelled as being manufactured in South Africa, and the company does not import toothpaste to the United States from South Africa.

The packaging also contains several misspellings. (Globe & Mail)

I’m afraid for my teeth!! I need legit toothpaste to scrub off the poison from my Chinese vegetables.

We're all doomed.

We've had the scary poisoned toothpaste story here - but not good old Colgate, a couple of brands that are made in the same place as those poison vegetables.
