Press Release Body =

Colgate-Palmolive Corporation on Thursday, warned retailer stores about some
"dollar-type discount stores" located anywhere in Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey
and New York selling fake toothpaste. This counterfeit toothpaste is noted of
containing chemical that is toxic and could be dangerous to anyone who chanced upon
using it. Thereby, the Family Dollar store managed by Larry Cramer assured
Pennsylvanians that they do not have any stocks of phony and dangerous toothpaste
that is labeled "made in South Africa."

Los Angeles, California, June 19, 2007 - Mr. Cramer claims that he had never sold
any kind of recalled product in all his 8½ years of managing the Family Dollar
stores. He also handles the Charlotte, a North Carolina based chain's store in 701
Prescott Avenue. He found out about the poisonous and fake Colgate toothpaste early
on Thursday morning through the e-mail services of their company.

The toxic toothpaste was reputed to have ingredients like diethylene glycol, which
is an industrial solvent usually present in antifreeze. This is used as a cheap
equivalent of a sweetener glycerin for the fake toothpaste and other drugs coming
from China.

The recall issued on June 11 was given after the substance was discovered to be
present in Shir, Chinese toothpaste.

Where this present group of fake toothpaste originated, is not yet known. However,
the Colgate-Palmolive company gave a statement on that day with the following
content:

"Colgate does not import toothpaste into the United States from South Africa. The
counterfeit toothpaste is not manufactured or distributed by Colgate and has no
connection with the company whatsoever."

It is uncertain whether there were consumers who have been victimized by the fake
toothpaste but all the retailer stores, especially dollar stores were alerted to be
on guard of the hazardous product.

They were told to look out for tubes of toxic toothpaste weighing five ounces with
packages that often have misspellings like "SOUTH AFRLCA", "South African Dental
Assoxiation" and "isclinically."

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have already begun stopping imports of
toothpaste from China. They have also started to search retailer's shelves starting
June 11 after the recall about the Shir toothpaste. It was announced that the fake
Colgate toothpaste was found on some discount retailer's shelves where the
Chinese-made toothpaste are usually sold.
