Guest guest Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Tom's of Maine, the popular maker of a variety of natural and organic body care products, has agreed to be bought out by the Colgate-Palmolive Company for $100 million. Although in past years Tom's of Maine has made negative comments about Colgate's use of artificial ingredients in its toothpastes, co-founder Tom Chappell claims " We have a commitment from Colgate that our formulas will not be tampered with. " Colgate says it can help Tom's of Maine increase sales and distribution in the current fast-growing $3 billion US market for natural oral-care and personal products. http://www.organicconsumers.org/bodycare/toms060326.cfm " NOTICE: Due to Presidential Executive Orders, the National Security Agency may have read this email without warning, warrant, or notice.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 I try different toothpastes from the health shop, vegan ones obviously. The only Tom of Maine's item we use is the deoderant. I like Jason products. Jo - peter hurd Thursday, March 30, 2006 6:26 PM Re: Re: so much for Tom's of Maine I use Jason toothpaste, bloody expensive though, what about the rest of you guys?

Bearing in mind that it would put their entire business at risk if they sold products which lied on the packages (potential punishments include prison sentences for directors, and the removal of trading licenses by Trading Standards), I'd say there's a high probability that it's true.
