Procter & Gamble Co., the world's largest consumer products company, said Monday it is suing Ranir LLC, a private label manufacturer of oral care products, for patent infringement. A spokesman for Ranir, based in Grand Rapids, Mich., declined to comment. Procter & Gamble alleges that Ranir is infringing on patents owned by Braun, an arm of its Gillette unit. The company said Ranir sells replacement toothbrush heads specifically designed to fit Oral-B power toothbrushes that are manufactured by Braun and sold by Gillette in the United States.
