Turning up

In fact, the toothpaste has been distributed much more widely. Roughly 900,000 tubes containing a poison used in some antifreeze products have turned up in hospitals for the mentally ill, prisons, juvenile detention centers and even some hospitals serving the general population.
Like nobody knew the toothpaste was there until they were cleaning out the refrigerator over the weekend and hey!, there it was, behind an old jar of mayo.

And then - oh, this is good...

The Food and Drug Administration has advised consumers to discard all Chinese-made toothpaste, regardless of the brand.
Who freakin' knows? Where their toothpaste comes from. Or where where it came from got it. The FDA apparently didn't. But then, what with explaining the pet food and testing some peanut butter in Nebraska, the FDA has been pretty busy lately. You don't expect them to keep an eye on everything, do you, Bunky?

Oh, you do?
