Summary
The FDA found bacteria-contaminated water and mold at a facility making Tom’s of Maine toothpaste.
Dangerous bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Paracoccus yeei, were found in water and some toothpaste batches.
These bacteria can cause serious infections. No recalls have been issued, but the FDA has requested action from the company.
Colgate-Palmolive is working with the FDA, adding safety measures, and says its products remain safe.
I dropped that brand when they were sold to Colgate in 2006.
I stopped at the same time when their deodorant suddenly gave me severe chemical burns. Many people complained and nothing ever happened. Fuck Colgate.
