U.S. health officials warned consumers Friday not to use toothpaste made in China because it may be contaminated with a poisonous chemical used in antifreeze and as a solvent....

The FDA identified the following brands of toothpaste from China that contain DEG ad are included in the import alert: Cooldent Fluoride; Cooldent Spearmint; Cooldent ICE; Dr. Cool, Everfresh Toothpaste; Superdent Toothpaste; Clean Rite Toothpaste; Oralmax Extreme; Oral Bright Fresh Spearmint Flavor; Bright Max Peppermint Flavor; and ShiR Fresh Mint Fluoride Paste....

The FDA has seized tainted toothpaste at a DollarPlus store in Miami, Fla., and from a Todo Un Peso, a store in Puerto Rico.
