Toothpastes made in China recalled
From Times Wire Services
Donnamax Inc., a supplier of cosmetics and beauty and household products, issued a voluntary recall of DentaPro and Bright Max brands of toothpaste made in China because they may contain a harmful chemical.
Diethylene glycol, also known as diglycol or DEG, has not caused any poisoning that the Food and Drug Administration is aware of, the New York company said. It can harm children and people with kidney or liver disease, the statement said.
FDA spokeswoman Rita Chappelle said the agency believed “the level of DEG found in the positive samples poses a low risk of harm to people.”
