Summary of OCI Investigation:
From between August 2006 and April 2007, Cellou JUMAINE and co-conspirator Alpha Yaya Jalloh were principals of the Fatala Corporation based in New York, which imported approximately 990,000 tubes of counterfeit Colgate toothpaste into the U.S. from China. JUMAINE and Jalloh knew the imported toothpaste was not a genuine Colgate product, and intended to sell it with counterfeit Colgate marks to confuse and deceive customers. Most of the toothpaste contained either no fluoride or significantly less fluoride than that which is found in genuine Colgate toothpaste. In addition, some of the toothpaste contained harmful substances, such as Bacillus bacteria, and diethylene glycol, which is a chemical toxic to humans. The toothpaste contained in all of the shipments was resold by Fatala Corporation to customers in New York and elsewhere.
