Safety alert after toxin is found in toothpaste - Independent - best to read the whole article
Extract:
"Toxic chemical traces have been found in fake Sensodyne toothpaste sold in Britain, the medicines watchdog has warned.
The affected batch was sold at markets and car-boot sales but not in shops, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) said.
All tubes of Sensodyne contaminated with toxic levels of diethylene glycol should be thrown away, the agency advised. The affected products are fake Sensodyne Original and Sensodyne Mint sold in 50ml tubes. They were sold via "unauthorised" suppliers and not legitimate shops."

Chinese toothpaste may be toxic...
This product made in China... badly - Sunday Telegraph
Extract:
"Chairman Mao was notorious for black, rotten teeth. But no one imagined that China's disdain for dental care would lead them to produce a toothpaste that contained diethylene glycol, an industrial solvent more commonly found in anti-freeze, writes David Eimer.
Last week, however, three companies recalled millions of travel toothpaste sets after they were found to contain more than 6 per cent of the chemical.
The toxic toothpaste is the latest in a long list of Chinese-made products that have been deemed harmful or faulty in recent weeks.
China might be the world's factory, but more and more countries are questioning whether its economy is booming at the expense of their citizens' health, as indeed are the Chinese themselves."
