Colgate-Palmolive Company has notified us of a voluntary recall of Hello ® Wild Strawberry Fluoride Toothpaste, 4.2oz (“Product”) due to the product being mislabelled. Some Product, which is an over-the-counter (OTC) drug containing the active ingredient sodium fluoride, was filled in tubes with incorrect labels. While the outer carton correctly indicates Hello ® Wild Strawberry Fluoride Toothpaste, the tube is incorrectly labeled Hello ® Fresh Watermelon Fluoride-Free Toothpaste. The mislabeled tubes do not disclose the presence of fluoride in the product and do not contain the FDA-required directions for use or warnings.
The safety of our members is our highest priority. The recalled toothpaste formula fully meets product quality and safety specifications for a fluoride toothpaste and is safe when used as intended. Do not use the Product impacted if intending to use a fluoride-free toothpaste. The impacted Product can be identified based on the code and expiration date listed below.
