Toxic fake toothpaste that could have serious health consequences for anyone using it has been sold in markets and discount shops in the UK, the British medicines regulator has said.

The Chinese government is getting very concerned about all the food etc scandals involving Chinese products. I don't know if it made the news in the UK, but in the USA a lot of pets were made ill and some died recently because of contaminated pet food. Now there's the weird toothpaste. When they investigated they found the head of their Food and Drug Administration had been taking bribes to approve some dubious products. In an extreme example of "The buck stops here", he was *executed* on Monday!
