Costa Rican authorities seized 300 boxes of Chinese toothpaste tainted with a toxic chemical on Friday, following mass raids on distributors of the product in other countries.

Thousands of tubes of the ‘Mr Cool’ brand toothpaste, along with another Chinese-made toothpaste, Excel, have been pulled from store shelves in Panama and the Dominican Republic.

The United States said this week it was checking all toothpaste shipments from China as a precautionary measure.

The contaminated brands contain high levels of the lethal chemical diethylene glycol, responsible for the deaths of at least 100 people in Panama last year after government-made cough syrups were found to contain the chemical.

Panama says the chemical, often used as an engine coolant, was imported from China mislabeled as a similar but more expensive compound frequently found in medicines. Mariano Zuniga, spokesman for the Costa Rican Health Ministry said, “We’re calling on the public to report any store which is carrying this brand.” reuters
