Listerine Rinse Recalled For Contamination
Recall Affects Glacier Mint, Bubble Blast Flavors

POSTED: 12:26 am EDT April 12, 2007

WASHINGTON -- The maker of Listerine is recalling one of its rinses after tests showed it was contaminated with microorganisms.

A Johnson and Johnson spokeswoman said a company unit is recalling 4 million bottles of the recently launched Listerine Agent Cool Blue plaque-detecting rinse, marketed primarily for use by children.

The recall affects the Glacier Mint and Bubble Blast flavors.

The company said tests showed contamination, despite the use of preservatives.

However, the company said there have be no reports of health problems from the contamination.

Consumers are advised to stop using the product and throw it away. Refunds are being offered.

It's a placque detecting rinse that's being recalled. I'm thinking it doesn't have all the alcohol that regulaar Listerine mouthwash has. (at least I hope not, since it's aimed towards kid use.)

It doesn't have the alchohol in it that the Listerine for adults have. Thanks for postin' Cap. I had missed seeing this on the news and we had bought it for our son about 2 weeks ago.
