An Inclusive Litany

The Chicago Tribune reported on a class-action suit filed in Cook County Circuit Court against Colgate-Palmolive, the Walgreens drug store chain, the American Dental Association, and assorted other defendants. The plaintiffs charge a failure to warn consumers of the risk that vigorous brushing might cause "toothbrush related injury" to gums, and claim a warning label on toothpaste boxes would prevent such injuries.
