This investigation into children's fluoride toothpaste overexposure is now closed to new claims — here is what it covered and who could have qualified.
Did Your Child Use Fluoride Toothpaste?
This class action investigation is closed to new claims. You may have previously qualified to be part of a kids fluoride toothpaste class action investigation into whether certain popular toothpastes were used appropriately for very young children.The children's toothpastes and mouthwash products at issue in the investigation include Colgate, Crest, Tom's, among others.
The focus is on children who were 10 years old or younger when using fluoride products due to concerns about potential overexposure to fluoride in this age group. Kids under 10 years old may be particularly more likely to swallow toothpaste and less able to follow usage instructions, endangering them to potentially dangerous levels of chemicals such as fluoride.
It's important to note that while fluoride toothpaste can be beneficial for cavity prevention, its use in very young children requires careful consideration and adherence to professional guidelines to balance benefits and potential risks.
