Reported risk: Further to a warning issued on June 29 , Health Canada is warning Canadians not to use a counterfeit product falsely labelled as Colgate Fluoride Toothpaste Maximum Cavity Protection. Ongoing testing has resulted in preliminary evidence of a further, potentially harmful bacterial contamination. If confirmed, the presence of this bacterium could pose a serious health risk. Health Canada will notify Canadians if it is determined that there is a health risk once final testing is completed.
