Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comfrey and read the section on Medicinal uses. I was using the leaf for a tea some 40 years ago and stopped because of this warning. My daughter got immediate relief from rib cage back pain with this ointment

What color is this ointment? If it's true comfrey leaves, it should be fairly green!

Mine (I've been buying this for years) is a beige color.

What are the igredients of the Comfrey Ointment Formula?

Extra Virgin olive oil, Wheat Germ oil, White Oak Bark, Comfrey Root, Mullen Leaf, Black Walnut leaf, Marshmallow root, Gravel Root, Wormwood herb, Lobelia herb, Scullca?? (can't read, it's rubbed off) herb and beeswax.

is it made from fresh or dried leaf?

99.9% likely that it is from dry leaf because if it were fresh, water would be introduced and the product would need a preservative as well as an emulsifier to not allow the oil and water-based leaf juice to separate.
