  Not Cool: Listerine Recalls Agent Cool Blue Mouthwash
BOSTON -- McNeil-PPC’s recall of every bottle of its Listerine Agent Cool Blue could mean the end for what had been a very promising brand for the company.
The recall, announced late last week, involves all of the approximately four million bottles of the children’s plaque-detecting rinse manufactured since its introduction last year.
Sheehey, who doesn’t expect the recall to have much impact on parent brand Listerine, said McNeil is doing a good job handling the recall.

  Listerine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Listerine is one of the most popular mouthwashes sold in the U.S. It is currently manufactured and distributed by Pfizer Inc, however, subject to regulatory approvals by the end of 2006, Johnson and Johnson will acquire the Listerine brand.
Listerine was invented in the 19th century as a powerful surgical antiseptic.
Listerine was packaged in a glass bottle inside a cardboard tube for nearly 80 years before the first revamps were made to the brand; in 1992, Cool Mint Listerine was introduced in addition to the regular Antiseptic formula, and in 1994, both brands were introduced in plastic bottles for the first time.

 Business Law : Court Enjoins Listerine Advertising Campaign
A federal judge has ruled that an advertising campaign by Pfizer, claiming that the mouthwash Listerine is as effective as flossing in fighting tooth and gum decay, is false and misleading and poses a public health risk.
Second, according to Judge Chin, the studies were not sufficiently reliable to permit one to conclude "with reasonable certainty" that Listerine is as effective as floss in fighting plaque and gingivitis, even in individuals with mild to moderate gingivitis.
Judge Chin also found that the ads sent the implicit message that Listerine is a replacement for floss—that the benefits of flossing may be obtained by rinsing with Listerine, and that those consumers who do not have the time or desire to floss can switch to Listerine instead.

 Review On Listerine Mouth Wash by HawgWyld - MouthShut.com
Listerine is one of those products that proves that theory.
In short, rinsing with Listerine is, in many ways, like washing your mouth out with straight whiskey -- the stuff burns like crazy and I’m always thrilled when I’ve swished this stuff around for 30 seconds and can spit it in the sink.
The claims Listerine makes about the benefits of this stuff are, indeed, true and a lot of dentists tell their patients to use Listerine in an overall program to maintain healthy teeth.

 RedOrbit - Health - Judge: Listerine Not Same as Flossing
Pfizer in print ads had featured a Listerine bottle balanced equally on a scale opposite a floss container with the words: "Listerine antiseptic is clinically proven to be as effective as floss at reducing plaque and gingivitis between the teeth."
The campaign also featured a television commercial titled the "Big Bang." In it, the commercial announces that Listerine is as effective as floss and that clinical tests prove it, though it does add that there is no replacement for flossing.
The judge said "substantial evidence" demonstrates that flossing is important in reducing tooth decay and gum disease and that it cannot be replaced by rinsing with a mouthwash.

This version of Listerine mouthwash is delicious, and is not as orally assaultive as previous versions.
Yes, Listerine does kill millions of germs as advertized, but those germs replicate very fast and will return to regular levels in a very short period of time, so by using it twice or even three times per day, you keep germs depressed all day long.
