Toothpaste Recall for Gilchrist & Soames: Toxic chemical found in hotel toiletries

It seems as if many hotels across Canada had to rush around to try and destroy all tubes of their miniature tubes of Gilchrist & Soames toothpaste, which has been made in China. Gilchrist & Soames which is based in Indianapolis have issued a recall after tests show that the toothpaste contains toxic chemical that is used to make such things as antifreeze.

The chemical found is called diethylene glycol, or the more common name DEG, Gilchrist & Soames imported the tubes from Ming Fai Enterprises International Co in China, the toiletries which are 18-millilitre tubes then ship to hotels across Canada. Other countries have also been shipped to other countries including France, Italy, Mexico, UK, and the US.

This is just the latest toothpaste scare, as only two months there was a Colgate Toothpaste Recall Issued by FDA.
