The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on October 19 announced 17 nationwide Class II recalls of adults' and kids' toothpaste, covering 4,301,700 tubes. The products were made by Pritam International Private Limited and distributed in the U.S. by Ashtel Studios Inc.
The recall spans familiar children's lines and adult varieties, including Brush Buddies Barbie Anticavity Toothpaste, Brush Buddies Hot Wheels Anticavity Toothpaste, Brush Buddies Crayola Silly Scents Anticavity Toothpaste, Brush Buddies My Little Pony Anticavity Toothpaste, and evo toothpaste sold in peppermint and sweet mint versions. That is why consumers are searching for the list now: the action covers both 4 oz and 3.5 oz tubes, and the FDA's enforcement report points readers to the full product list for the affected UPCs, lot numbers, and expiration dates.
The agency gave one reason for the recalls: Current Good Manufacturing Practice deviations. In plain terms, that means the products did not meet the manufacturing standards expected for OTC drugs, which is how anticavity toothpaste is regulated. The Class II label also matters. It signals that use of the product could cause temporary or medically treatable health problems, while serious harm is considered unlikely.
What the report did not say is just as important. It did not include any information about whether illnesses had been reported, so the public record shows a broad recall without a confirmed injury link. Pritam initiated the voluntary recall on September 10, before the FDA's October 19 enforcement report made the nationwide action public. For buyers, the next step is straightforward: check the full FDA list for the recalled Brush Buddies and evo products, because the deciding detail is not the brand name alone but the exact UPC, lot number and expiration date on the tube.
