The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced a Class II recall of 3,869,376 tubes of toothpaste that were sold throughout Idaho. The recall follows the agency’s finding that the manufacturer, Pritam International of Delhi, India, failed to follow Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) requirements, a procedural violation that could lead to temporary health reactions if the product is used.

Products and Brands Affected

The recalled items were marketed under the brand names Brush Buddies, Evo and Aru. Most of the affected toothpaste is intended for children’s dental care and includes popular flavors such as strawberry, bubble gum and watermelon. The FDA classifies a Class II recall as one where the product may cause temporary health issues, but it is not expected to cause serious injury.

How Consumers Can Respond

Idaho residents who purchased any of the listed toothpaste should stop using the product immediately. A toll‑free customer‑care line (1‑888‑463‑6332) is available 24 hours a day to answer questions and arrange refunds. Consumers can return the tubes to the stores where they were bought for a full refund.

No Reported Illnesses

To date, the FDA has received no reports of illness linked to the recalled toothpaste. The agency’s swift action reflects its commitment to protecting public health, especially for families with young children who are the primary users of these flavored products.

Company Background

Pritam International produces a wide range of personal‑care items, including perfumes, skincare, soaps, pet‑care products and hair‑care goods. The company’s extensive product line is listed on its LinkedIn profile, and the recall involves more than a dozen UPC and lot codes.

What This Means for Idaho Families

Idaho’s families can feel reassured that the FDA’s recall process is working to keep unsafe products off shelves. Parents are encouraged to check the packaging for the specific lot numbers mentioned in the recall notice and to keep receipts for proof of purchase when seeking refunds.

Further Information

Additional details about the recall, including the full list of lot numbers and UPC codes, are available on the FDA’s website and through the consumer hotline. The agency will continue to monitor the situation and update the public if any new health information emerges.
