Zinc will be removed from PoliGrip denture cream, announced manufacturer GlaxoSmithKline.
Hundreds of denture patient lawsuits are being consolidated in federal court. The manufacturers of zinc-based denture creams are accused of failing to warn consumers about the health risks of long-term zinc exposure.
