Over 67,000 cases of popular deodorant recalled nationwide

The FDA has issued a recall for more than 67,000 cases of deodorant which are sold nationwide. 

The products, Power Stick roll-on deodorants, are made by the Easton, Pennsylvania-based company A.P. Deauville. 

Per an enforcement notice, the recall includes three separate products: the Power Stick For Her Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant in the scent “power fresh,” the Power Stick Invisible Protection Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant in the scent “spring fresh,” and the Power Stick Original Nourishing Invisible Protection Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant.

Over 20,000 cases of each product were recalled. The enforcement notice marked the reason for the recall as “cGMP deviations”, which stands for Current Good Manufacturing Practice. Per the FDA website, failure to meet CGMP regulations can lead to products being recalled.

The FDA notes, “Adherence to the CGMP regulations assures the identity, strength, quality, and purity of drug products by requiring that manufacturers of medications adequately control manufacturing operations. This includes establishing strong quality management systems, obtaining appropriate quality raw materials, establishing robust operating procedures, detecting and investigating product quality deviations, and maintaining reliable testing laboratories.”

The recall was announced on July 10 and is ongoing. While the products did not meet FDA standards, an exact reason for the recall was not disclosed. No injuries have been reported.

According to the enforcement report, the products were distributed nationwide. They are regularly sold at Dollar Tree, Amazon, and Walmart.
