At this moment, no one is harmed by the toothpaste, but the Food and Drug Administration cautions about the toxic toothpaste. To be specific, the toothpaste contains a kind of chemical, diethyllene glycol. On the other hand, Chinese regulation said that small amount of the diethyllene glycol could be safely used in the toothpaste.
