Since there are so many recalls, I am merging these threads into one main thread.
Here is a source of info on Government Recalls:

Additional note:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- New York, New York -- June 14, 2007 -- The Colgate–Palmolive Company today warned that counterfeit toothpaste falsely packaged as "Colgate" has been found in several dollar-type discount stores in four states: New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. There are indications that this product does not contain fluoride and may contain Diethylene Glycol. The Company stated that it does not use, nor has ever used, Diethylene Glycol as an ingredient in Colgate toothpaste anywhere in the world.
The counterfeit toothpaste can be easily recognized because it is labelled as "Manufactured in South Africa." Colgate does not import toothpaste into the United States from South Africa. In addition, the counterfeit packages examined so far have several misspellings including: "isclinically" "SOUTH AFRLCA" "South African Dental Assoxiation".

US: Chinese Seafood Detained for Safety
Jun 28, 6:22 PM (ET)
By ANDREW BRIDGES
WASHINGTON (AP) - Farmed seafood has now joined tires, toothpaste and toy trains on the list of tainted and defective products from China that could be hazardous to a person's health.
Federal health officials said Thursday they were detaining three types of Chinese fish - catfish, basa and dace - as well as shrimp and eel after repeated testing turned up contamination with drugs unapproved in the United States for use in farmed seafood.

I just saw on Yahoo news that the Chinese gvernment has executed their Food and Drug official for taking bribes which led to the massive contaminants being exported.
What do you suppose this new developement will signal to the world community, or to Americans for that matter. I could not find the story on the "Big Three" networks.

Yes, he was executed.
Here's the story:

I can't help but wonder if they sold his organs on the black market, like they do so many people they execute.
Sad.
