In 2007, news outlets reported on toothpaste manufactured in China that was sold to bargain retail stores in the United States that was being recalled due to the ingredient diethylene glycol, which is an ingredient found in antifreeze. Chinese toothpaste accounts for less than 1% of toothpaste sold in the United States and officials were unable to estimate how many tubes of tainted toothpaste made it to US retailers. Upon learning about this story, you became very interested in the effects of globalization on health care policy and joined local grassroots campaigns aimed at safety standards for products coming into the US from other countries. Due to your work with these local campaigns, you have been asked to present to a group of masters students at the local university on the impact of globalization on healthcare, with a focus on broad to local impacts.
