Summary

Family Dollar has recalled approximately 6,720 units of various Colgate Optic White toothpastes and mouthwash distributed to retail stores in several states. These products were held in storage conditions that were outside of the required temperature range, which violates Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP). The recall includes several versions of Optic White toothpaste, including Pro Series, Renewal, and Charcoal varieties, along with Optic White whitening mouthwash.

Risk

Storing these products at temperatures outside of the recommended range can degrade the quality and stability of the active ingredients, such as fluoride and hydrogen peroxide. This may cause the products to be less effective than intended or lead to physical changes in the product, although no injuries or adverse reactions have been reported to date.
