Is this a no brainer?

I have never to my knowledge used chinese made toothpaste but I am sure I would never NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will read the label before buying,and if I ever find it, I do not think I would ever buy from that manufacturer again!!!!

So how do you feel about this?

[pk]

Chinese-made toothpaste containing the toxic substance, which can cause kidney failure, paralysis and death, has been yanked from sale in North and South America, Europe and Asia in recent weeks

Unreal that this is in toothpaste. I do remember reading about this a few weeks ago. Thought maybe I posted something about this but maybe not. Just can't believe what some places get away with.

Think I'll go check my toothpaste just to be sure. :?

Thanks for the article.
