Health Canada Alert: Salivart

Hi everyone,

I just got this alert via email from Health Canada via the Canadian Dental Association:

Health Canada Recall Advisory for Certain Lots of Salivart Oral Moisturizer

Since dentists can recommend the use of Salivart Oral Moisturizer, the Canadian Dental Association is bringing to your attention the following Health Canada advisory about the recall of certain lots of this product because of possible contamination with mould or yeast:
www.hc-sc.gc.ca/ahc-asc/media/advisories-avis/2007/2007_38_e.html

We don't use Salivart at either of the offices that I work at, but I wanted to put this information out to our general readership.

Take care,
