Summary
The FDA found bacteria-contaminated water and mold at a facility making Tom’s of Maine toothpaste.
Dangerous bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Paracoccus yeei, were found in water and some toothpaste batches.
These bacteria can cause serious infections. No recalls have been issued, but the FDA has requested action from the company.
Colgate-Palmolive is working with the FDA, adding safety measures, and says its products remain safe.

Republicans have been stripping all regulations since we managed to get the last major batch passed in the 1940s.
In pretty sure both Republicans & Democrats are deregulating the everliving shit over there for 60+ years - and they carry on the work of the previous admin even when the parties in power switch. You have a clear history of that.
Only the rhetoric on said topic is slightly (but not that much) different.

I dropped that brand when they were sold to Colgate in 2006.
Didn’t know they were bought by Colgate. What brand do you use now?
