Pet Toothpaste Contains Diethylene Glycol
Posted by Slobokan @ 13:13 · 137 words · print
Last June, we were warned about counterfeit toothpaste packaged as "Colgate" sitting on the shelves of several dollar store chains.
The fake product contained Diethylene Glycol.
Today, we find out there is more toothpaste containing Diethylene Glycol, this time in pet toothpaste.
PetEdge is voluntarily recalling Top Performance brand ProDental Toothpaste with Toothbrush kit because the toothpaste could contain diethylene glycol. Only one product, which comes in two flavors, is affected:
Top Performance® ProDental Toothpaste with Toothbrush kit 1.4 oz.,
Item No. TP128, Beef flavor: UPC 721343128151, Mint flavor: UPC 721343128564
Diethylene glycol can cause headaches and illness, or in high doses, renal failure or death. Diethylene glycol is found in antifreeze and other solvents. Stores have been asked to immediately discard any ProDental 1.4 oz. Toothpaste of either flavor.
