The Spinbrush electric toothbrush—heavily marketed to children—can cause serious face and mouth injuries, the FDA warns.
More than 39 million of the toothbrushes have been sold under various brand names. But all are call “Spinbrush”. Those currently on sale carry the Arm & Hammer brand. Those made until 2009 carried the Crest brand.
The FDA has received reports of serious injuries from the Spinbrush.
The electric toothbrushes aren’t being recalled. Instead, the company that makes the products—Church & Dwight Co. Inc. of Princeton, New Jersey—is telling consumers how to avoid injury.
On January 25 of this year, the company issued a “class I recall.” This did not mean that consumers could return the products. Instead, the company issued safe-use instructions in television and print ads and on its web sit

We still highly recommend the Oral-B Electric Toothbrush which should not be confused with the Spinbrush. We have the Oral-B for sale right here in our office.
