I wanted to know if this could be brought to court:
Crest Pro-Health mouthwash creates tartar and brown stains on the user's teeth.
So when I first start using it, I got a brownish stain on the inside of my lower teeth, then spread to the top teeth. SO naturally, I used the mouthwash even more to get rid of the stain...until I went online and found out this is very common.
I checked online on Crest.com this is what they claim in the FAQ:
"Why doesn't the Crest Pro-Health Rinse label contain a stain warning?
The active ingredient in Crest Pro-Health Rinse has been recognized as safe and effective by an FDA advisory panel. The label meets current FDA standards.
Some other mouthwashes that effectively fight plaque and gingivitis, and have the potential to contribute to temporary brown tooth discoloration, have been on the market for years, and do not carry a stain label.
Crest Pro-Health Rinse’s product label does instruct users to “use [the rinse] after your normal brushing and flossing routine.”
* Brown tooth discoloration from use of mouthwashes that effectively fight plaque and gingivitis is not harmful. It is reversible - and largely preventable - through options like brushing with a power toothbrush and tartar-control/whitening toothpaste, flossing, and visiting the dentist regularly."
It's a load of garbage, it's not reversible, and I'm a very orally hygenic person, now I need to spend 150$ to get a special checkup with my doctor to get rid of the buildup.
just type in "crest pro health effects" in google, and you get a score of complaints
Crest knows about this, yet they don't tell the consumer. And they haven't taken it off the shelf
Lawsuit?
