I just heard this on the 6pm news.

Consumer Statement


Here's what was on our local TV website:
4 million bottles of Listerine recalled
WASHINGTON (AP) - Johnson & Johnson recalled a recently launched Listerine plaque-detecting rinse marketed primarily for use by children after testing revealed contamination by microorganisms.

The company's McNeil-PPC Inc. unit recalled all 4 million bottles of Glacier Mint and Bubble Blast flavors of Listerine Agent Cool Blue plaque-detecting rinse, a spokeswoman said Wednesday. The recall covers all lots sold or distributed since the product's launch last year.

The recall does not include any other Listerine products, including traditional versions that contain alcohol, spokeswoman Meghan Marschall said. Agent Cool Blue is alcohol-free.

The company said product testing showed contamination by microorganisms despite the use of preservatives. There have been no reports of consumer health problems associated with the contamination, it said. It added the risk of illness is low, except for individuals with weakened or suppressed immune systems.

Consumers should stop using and properly discard the product. The company is offering full refunds. For more information, call 888-222-0249 or visit Consumer Statement .

The rinse tints plaque blue, highlighting it to encourage better brushing habits, Marschall said.

we have this!! I kind of forgot we had this!! the bottle is partially empty!!

My son used this in the past, didnt care too much for it. But I still have a bottle of it.
I didnt like this blue stuff, it got all over the sink.

Try switching your kids to an after brushing rinse, they come in all sorts of flavors. Plus its not messy.

Im wondering why I never heard of this recall until now...
