Shoppers all over the world have made dollar stores a phenomenon, but it’s definitely buyer beware as The Colgate-Palmolive Company announced today that toothpaste labeled as “Colgate” was not the real thing. The counterfeit toothpaste has been found in several discount stores in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland. The toothpaste is not believed to contain fluoride, and may contain Diethylene Glycol, a chemical that is not used in any Colgate toothpaste. Diethylene Glycol is frequently used in anti-freeze.
