Benzene Found in Denture Adhesives: New York’s consumer watchdog and the federal government warned that testing showed three brands of dental adhesive with high levels of the chemical benzene, a known carcinogen. The Food and Drug Administration identified the brands as Orafix Special, Brace and, to a lesser degree, Cushion Grip. All three are being recalled by their manufacturers. Officials said there was no immediate health hazard but that it could pose a danger over many years.
