P&G fined $1m in China over toothpaste advertisement

Consumer goods giant Procter & Gamble has been fined close to $1m (£662,876) in China for what Shanghai regulators said was false advertising of its Crest toothpaste brand.

Chinese media are reporting the fine as the biggest of its kind on record.
