    From the Forbes article:
    A Food and Drug Administration official, Doug Arbesfeld, confirmed that testing had found the chemical in a product with the Colgate label.

    The fake toothpaste with the Colgate name is labeled "Manufactured in South Africa," but Colgate said it doesn't import toothpaste from South Africa. The counterfeit packages also have several misspellings, and were found in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland.
