The fluoride toothpaste came in flavors like bubble gum, strawberry and watermelon.
The Food and Drug Administration classified the voluntary recall by Pritam International Private Limited as Class II, which means the use may cause temporary and reversible health problems. Serious health consequences are unlikely.
The recall was initiated due to the manufacturing process, but it did not define what that means specifically.
Recalled products are listed on the FDA website and include varieties of Brush Buddies kids toothpaste, two types of Evo products marketed for teeth whitening and sensitivity, and two Aru products marketed for gum health and cavity protection.

Expiration dates range from November 2026 to June 2028.

Typically, that means customers should throw it out and be careful you don’t buy one with the lot number involved in the recall and listed on the FDA website.
