Dr. Klein was interviewed by CBS 21 News about an FDA warning for broken electric toothbrushes: http://bit.ly/xWaWaV
The FDA issued the following advice to parents, caregivers and consumers:
- Before using the Spinbrush, inspect it for any damage or loose brush bristles. If you find any, do not use the brush. Report it to Church & Dwight, which can be reached toll-free at 1-800-352-3384 or 1-800-561-0752.
- Make sure the brush head is connected tightly to the brush handle, and test the brush outside of your mouth before using. If the connection feels loose or the brush head easily detaches from the handle, do not use the brush. Report it to Church & Dwight.
- Use care not to bite down on the brush head while brushing.
- To prevent injuries, always supervise children and adults who may need assistance when using the Spinbrush.
