 BEIJING (AP) - China is urging Hong Kong to resume the sale of three brands of Chinese toothpaste containing a chemical found in antifreeze, saying the small amounts involved were harmless to people.
Hong Kong's ban was the latest in a slew of recalls and warnings linked to Chinese toothpaste. The United States, New Zealand, Singapore, Panama and several other Latin American and Caribbean countries have taken similar actions.
Hong Kong's health department warned consumers earlier this week not to use toothpaste sold under the names Maxam Toothpaste with Fluoride, Sanqi and Tianqi.
