 From Debjani:

Health Canada is recalling an obscure brand of Indian-made toothpaste
found to contain high levels of diethylene glycol (DEG), a poisonous 
chemical used in  antifreeze.

The product, Neem Active Toothpaste with Calcium, has been found in
several stores in Western and Atlantic Canada, but the agency says it's 
not approved for  sale in Canada.

*Consumers are cautioned to stop using the toothpaste, made by the
Calcutta Chemical Co. Ltd., and return it to where it was sold.*
