Over 67,000 units of deodorant, initially stocked at Walmart, Dollar Tree, and Amazon, undergo a product recall.
In a recent development, A.P. Deauville, a manufacturer of various personal care products including deodorants, shampoos, and body washes, has initiated a recall of several batches of its Power Stick antiperspirant deodorant. The recall was prompted by violations of the Current Good Manufacturing Practice regulations (cGMP) overseen by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The affected Power Stick products include the Power Stick for Her Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant in the "power fresh" scent, the Power Stick Invisible Protection Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant in the "spring fresh" scent, and the Power Stick Original Nourishing Invisible Protection Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant. The specific lot numbers for the recalled Power Stick for Her Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant and Power Stick Invisible Protection Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant have been detailed, while the lot numbers for the third variety are not available in the provided sources.
Retailers such as Walmart, Dollar Tree, and Amazon sell the Power Stick deodorant, and the recalled products were shipped nationwide. Consumers are advised to immediately stop using these products and contact A.P. Deauville for instructions on returns and refunds.
A.P. Deauville, based in Easton, a city in eastern Pennsylvania, operates an FDA-regulated factory where it produces its antiperspirant deodorants. The city is near the state's border with neighboring New Jersey.
This recall serves as a reminder of the importance of adhering to the FDA's manufacturing practices to ensure the safety and quality of consumer products. It is crucial for manufacturers to maintain these standards to protect public health and maintain consumer trust.
