Avoid toothpaste made in China, FDA says        6/1/2007, 3:12 p.m. EDT   By KEVIN FREKING

       WASHINGTON (AP) — The government warned consumers on Friday to avoid using toothpaste labeled as made in China because it may contain a poisonous chemical used in antifreeze.
  Out of caution, the Food and Drug Administration said, people should throw away toothpaste with that labeling. FDA is concerned that these products may contain diethylene glycol.
  The agency is not aware of any reports in the United States of poisoning from toothpaste, but it did find the antifreeze ingredient in a shipment at the U.S. border and at an unidentified retail store.
