Nylon bristles are strictly required to be sterilised before attaching them to the toothbrush on health ground. But allegedly, this requirement is breached in a blanket fashion by our toothbrush manufacturers. The unsterilised nylon-bristles are purveyors of serious ailments for its users.

Will the health authorities look into the matter with urgency on behalf of the consumer-public to allay fear on this score at the earliest?
