Oral B mouthwash pulled in Mexico on safety worry

— Procter & Gamble Co. is recalling Oral B mouthwash in at least four Western Hemisphere countries because of possible microbial contamination.

On Thursday Mexican federal health authorities said 600,000 bottles of mouthwash were being pulled from stores in Mexico.

That announcement came after The Canadian Press said the Cincinnati, Ohio-based company is recalling two varieties of Oral B mouth rinse in Canada.

The company then told The Associated Press that the mouthwash is also being recalled in Colombia and Chile.

P&G and Mexican officials say the problem was found in an inspection and there have been no reports of illness. The products were manufcatured in Colombia.
