Do you buy toothpaste from the Dollar Store?!
Question:
Do you buy toothpaste from the Dollar Store?
Toothpaste at the Dollar Store comes from countries where there is no flouride in the water which means the toothpaste has up to 10 times the amount U.S. manufactured toothpaste does. This has the potential to poison you if too much is swallowed. This is not a hoax. Check www.snopes.com

10 times the amount of fluoride as toothpaste manufactured in the US. And yes they are name brands but they were intended for other countries that don't have fluoride in the their water. Dollar Stores are selling it in the US.

That is very good information for people who swallow toothpaste, or buy toothpaste for their kids.
The dollar stores have name brand products, but they are there for a reason...they can't be sold in regular stores either due to defects (like you stated), or closeouts.
When health is a concern, always assume that the products are defective.
