First the dog food, now the toothpaste. Buyer beware..

"Diethylene glycol [1], a poisonous ingredient in some antifreeze, has been found in 6,000 tubes of toothpaste in Panama, and customs officials there said yesterday that the product appeared to have originated in China." What's up with China? They sure are lax in what they're sending out as exports. Notice that the USDA is looking into it. Will this be like the pet food where the onion keeps on peeling away? The fact that they obviously have the power to contaminate and disperse food that could kill worries me.
