FDA warns of toothbrushes that mess up your face

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a consumer safety update Thursday about a brand of electric toothbrushes that’s been found to chip teeth, cut gums and generally wreak havoc with your face. Injuries reported from use of the battery-powered Spinbrush toothbrush, sold by both Arm & Hammer and Crest (before 2009), include chipped or broken teeth, cuts to the mouth and gums, injuries to the face and eyes and choking hazards thanks to broken pieces.
