Dent Fresh USA Inc. is recalling fluoride mint toothpaste made in China because it may contain a chemical used to make automobile antifreeze, the Food and Drug Administration said.
Dent Fresh, based in Miami, said its 9-ounce fluoride mint toothpaste product might contain diethylene glycol, which is toxic to the kidney and the liver toxin and can depress the central nervous system.
Several other companies selling toothpaste made in China recalled their products last month because of similar concerns.
The FDA has posted a list of toothpastes found to contain the chemical at www.fda.gov/oc/opacom/hottopics/toothpaste.html.
