It's a plaque detecting rinse made by a Johnson & Johnson subsidiary, McNeill PPC.

The company is complying with the FDA and voluntarily recalling all lots of GLACIER MINT™ and BUBBLE BLAST™ flavors of LISTERINE® AGENT COOL BLUE. Apparently the preservative is not protecting against contamination by certain microorganisms.

No one has been injured yet.

The company stresses that no other Listerine products are affected and in their press release at www.agentcoolblue.com, they talk about the potential for harm for individuals.

My child has been using this product. Should I be concerned?
