Listerine Rinse recall

4/11/07

& recalled a recently launched Listerine plaque-

detecting rinse marketed primarily for use by children after testing

revealed contamination by microorganisms.

The company's McNeil-PPC Inc. unit recalled all 4 million bottles of

Glacier Mint and Bubble Blast flavors of Listerine Agent Cool Blue

plaque-detecting rinse, a spokeswoman said Wednesday. The recall

covers all lots sold or distributed since the product's launch last

year.

The recall does not include any other Listerine products, including

traditional versions that contain alcohol, spokeswoman Meghan

Marschall said. Agent Cool Blue is alcohol-free.

The company said product testing showed contamination by

microorganisms despite the use of preservatives. There have been no

reports of consumer health problems associated with the

contamination, it said. It added the risk of illness is low, except

for individuals with weakened or suppressed immune systems.

Consumers should stop using and properly discard the product. The

company is offering full refunds. For more information, call 888-222-
