Here is the general outline:
A man at a grocery store sees that a strange, foreign toothpaste is for sale. He'd never heard of it before, but it was so cheap, he immediately buys it. That night, he brushes his teeth with this mysterious paste. All is fine, until the next morning. He notices a lump on his arm, but thinks nothing of it. An insect bite, perhaps? He continues to use the toothpaste, not noticing that more small lumps were appearing throughout his body. Then, to his horror, his gums begin to grow uncontrollably. They consume his entire mouth, then his head. His face was now covered by a thick, pink, throbbing set of gums. The lumps on his body begin to protrude through the flesh, exposing themselves as human teeth. The teeth, and gums, continue their conquest of the man's body. By the next day, he is nothing but a severely deformed, disgusting, set of salivating gums, with giant teeth sticking out. Eventually, he dies.
I kind of see it as a satire on the constant recalls of Chinese products, including toothpaste.
