Although cases like Katzenbach and Heart of Atlanta Motel stretched Congress' power to regulate under the Commerce Clause, United States v. Lopez, 514 U.S. 549 (1995) restricted the Commerce Clause's reach.
Toothbrushes have been around for hundreds of years. In fact, the first known toothbrushes were used about 5,000 years ago and were made of twigs. The Prophet Mohammed introâ¦duced the use of the miswak (toothbrush) to the middle east about 1,300 years ago.
The toothbrush consists of a plastic handle and nylon bristles attached to the head of the brush. Contemporary designs offer a variety of styles and shapes in a market that has swelled to $600 million in the mid-1990s, in part because of price increases, but also because toothbrushes are replaced frequently.
