Listerine has recalled its Agent Cool Blue mouth wash because it has been determined to be harmful. The Press Release is sugar coated, but the company states: "the risk of illness in healthy individuals following use of this product is very low. However, there could be a significant health risk to individuals with weakened or suppressed immune systems." This bad product is off the market. It would be great if we could now get the synthetic lawn and garden products, toxic pesticides and chemical household products off the market as well.

More information on the Listerine recall can be found at:

Probably shouldn't post things w/o references to back them up, but I DO remember reading about the incidence of mouth cancers being many times higher in people who use listerine 2 Xs/day.
