Wait Don't Brush Those Teeth!

Posted in: Madison Park

  • What we’re talking about: More than 4 million tubes of toothpaste have been recalled nationwide.

  • Why it matters: The toothpaste deviates from Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP), which ensures drug quality.

  • What you can do: Check for the recalled toothpaste, and toss or return it.

Check your medicine cabinet: More than 4 million tubes of toothpaste have been recalled nationwide. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the toothpaste was initially recalled on Sept. 10 over deviations from Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP), which ensures the identity, strength, quality, and purity of drugs. On Monday, the FDA gave the recall the second-highest risk level, Class II, for the possibility of temporary or reversible health effects.

Which Toothpaste Was Recalled?

The recall affects 17 toothpastes, including products marketed for children, that were produced by Pritam International Private Limited in India and distributed in the U.S. by Ashtel Studios Inc.:
