CONSUMER ALERT: Suspect toothpaste here in Canada?
So I have to ask myself, why is it that Colgate imports South African toothpaste into Canada?**********
Or is the toothpaste I am holding in my hand also a counterfeit?
And is it poisonous?
UPDATE: Lead paint... childrens toys
The Consumer Product Safety Commission recalls 1.5 million Thomas and Friends products — as in Thomas the Tank Engine — because a Chinese factory used lead paint.I think we've crossed a line here.
