Electric toothbrushes are not a new product. The electric toothbrush was invented way back in 1954, and it was first available on the market in 1959.

A consumer safety officer for the Food and Drug Administration, Ali Shumaya, issued this statement:
"It's important that consumers know how to avoid the risks associated with using the Spinbrush. We've had reports in which parts of the toothbrush broke off during use and were released into the mouth with great speed, causing broken teeth and presenting a choking hazard."
According to the FDA only certain models of the Spinbrush have indicated that they pose any risk. Those models are the Spinbrush SONIC, Spinbrush SONIC Recharge, Spinbrush Swirl, Spinbrush ProClean Michael Del Zotto Womens Jersey , Spinbrush ProClean Recharge, Spinbrush Pro Whitening, Spinbrush Classic Clean, Spinbrush For Kids, and the Spinbrush Replacement Heads.
The FDA has claimed that the Spinbrush could still be safe to use as long as precautions are taken. You should inspect the brush for damage or loose bristles before every single use to ensure that the brush is structurally sound and will not pose a risk.
Shumaya went on to say that "The head should not pop off during normal use. In some cases, the brush head popped off to expose metal pieces underneath that can - and have - poked individuals in the cheek and areas near the eyes, causing injuries."

The statement released by the manufacturers is as follows "Please remember to replace your brush head after 3 months of use, or if the brush is damaged, or if parts become loose. Extended usage, loose parts, or excessive wear could lead to brush head breakage, generation of small parts and possible choking hazard. Inspect brush for loose parts before use."
