Health Canada is advising Canadians who have this brand of electric toothbrush to stop using the device, which is no longer licensed for sale.

Colgate-Palmolive isn’t making the Motion Electric model anymore, but there may still be some stock in stores until the recall is completed.

The Motion Electric Toothbrush is a battery-operated device. The head of the unit contains both rotating and stationary brushes and the handle contains the motor and the battery.

Health Canada says consumers who have the toothbrushes should contact Colgate-Palmolive directly at 1-800-268-6757 or motion@colpal.com for more information.
