Health Canada advises that Procter & Gamble (P&G) is voluntarily recalling its Oral B Anti-Cavity Dental Rinse - Alcohol Free (NPN 02129930) and Oral-B Anti-Bacterial with Fluoride - Alcohol Free Daily Use Mouthrinse (DIN 02130823) products due to possible microbial contamination.

The company claims that the microbial levels are relatively harmless to healthy people, but those with severely weakened immune systems may be susceptible to adverse health effects.

P&G is asking retailers to stop selling the affected products and recommends that the public dispose of these products and contact the company for a refund.

Pharmaprix rue Mont-Royal coin St-Laurent ou Pharmaprix rue St-Laurent vend encore de ce produit. Je l’ai remarqué car cela fait des mois que je veux en trouver. Comme il n’y avait que celui contre la carie et que je voulais celui sans alcool, je n’ai pas fais l’achat.

C’est plus tard dans une épicerie Provigo rue Mont-Royal ouest que j’ai remarqué un petit carton dans un espace vide qui disait “Rappel ne pas remplir”.
