Lawyer sues, claims mouthwash stained his teeth
A Detroit-area lawyer, Mark Rossman, is suing Procter & Gamble Co., saying his teeth have brown stains after he used Crest Pro-Health mouthwash.
On P&Gās web page, the company says stains may be a sign the rinse is working because dead bacteria may be accumulating on the teeth. P&G says the stains are not harmful and can be exaggerated by many factors, such as existing tartar on teeth, consumption of colored beverages like coffee, tea, red wine, or tobacco use. Tooth discoloration is reversible – and largely preventable – through options like brushing with a power toothbrush and tartar-control/whitening toothpaste, flossing, and visiting your dental professional regularly.
Rossman’s lawsuit seeks class-action status. It accuses P&G of violating the Michigan Consumer Protection Act by not putting a warning on the label. Rossman believes P&G should be forced to pay his dental bills to get the stains removed.
What do you think? Is P&G at fault or should Mr. Rossman save everyone time and just make an appointment for the dentist?
