Poisonous 'Colgate' in teh USA
Last week the US's Food and Drug Administration recalled toothpaste sold in discount stores in four American states after it was found to be tainted with a poisonous chemical.
The toothpaste, labelled Colgate, had "Made in South
Africa" printed on the boxes containing the tubes. However,
Colgate-Palmolive, the manufacturer of Colgate toothpaste, said the product,
which was recalled, was a "counterfeit toothpaste falsely packaged". Colgate-Palmolive
said the firm "does not and would never use" diethylene glycol (DEG)
– used in anti-freeze – as an ingredient. The company said it did not import
toothpaste into the US from South Africa.
The scandal follows the discovery of a shipment of
Chinese-made contaminated toothpaste in the US.
