Recall for antifreeze?
Apparently, there's news breaking out about a recall on Colgate made in South Africa. Can we get some hard info proving or disproving that? MMetro (talk) 03:22, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Colgate Cavity Protection
While I admit this paragraph was unexpectedly humorous, I doubt it's accurate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.65.76.187 (talk) 01:32, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Colgate Total
First off, I want to acknowledge that I work for Colgate-Palmolive as a Brand Manager. I also want to say that I agree with all of the above points, and I would hope someone can answer these questions. Clearly I can't as an employee, however this may help:

1) Tiny Article: I agree completely, and hope someone can try to expand as there is plenty of information on independent websites (especially the FDA and ADA) as well as numerous clinical studies on the efficacy of the products (especially Colgate Total). 2) Recall for antifreeze: There was no recall, but rather there was counterfeit product, and there are many independent sources which could help explain this. For example: http://www.fda.gov/oc/po/firmrecalls/colgate06_07.html 3) Colgate Cavity Protection: This paragraph is incorrect, and should be corrected. Again, there's plenty of information online and the ADA (American Dental Association) & FDA in particular have a lot of information about the active ingredients that are approved and what they do.

My question relates to the section on Colgate Total - there is a statement in here saying: It is also known for a controversial note on the back of its package: "As soon as you finish brushing, bacteria start to build up on your teeth and cause cavities, gingivitis, plaque, tartar and bad breath." This is a very strange (and unreferenced) statement, and I would hope someone removes it or finds a professional opinion to support this statement. I believe all dentists would agree with this statement (and certainly the FDA and ADA did when they approved it on our packaging). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Westonluke (talk • contribs) 21:05, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Dr. Rabbit
Can someone please edit the Dr. Rabbit article to make it seem like his Youtube counter part? You know? "Hello there! I am Dr. Nazi! The world's only rabbit on crack!" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.3.9.125 (talk) 18:39, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

A redlink in the article is based ....

Rename
The Colgate brand sells more than just toothpaste. They sell mouthwashes and toothbrushes among other things and I think the title should reflect this. Maybe it should be renamed to Colgate (oral products). Mbslrm (talk) 02:21, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Country
There's no mention of India. Colgate toothpaste had a strangle hold on the Indian market, so much so Colgate was synonymous to toothpaste, at least back util the mid 90's — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.250.144.148 (talk) 03:00, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
