FDA Recalls Over 67,000 Cases of Power Stick Deodorants Over Manufacturing Concerns
More than 67,000 cases of Power Stick deodorants have been voluntarily recalled across the United States due to serious manufacturing practice violations, according to an announcement made by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Thursday, July 10.
The recall involves several varieties of Power Stick roll-on antiperspirant deodorants manufactured by A.P. Deauville, a personal care product company. Specifically, the recall includes:
- 21,265 cases of Power Stick for Her Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant Powder Fresh
- 22,482 cases of Power Stick Invisible Protection Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant Spring Fresh
- 23,467 cases of Power Stick Original Nourishing Invisible Protection Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant
The FDA stated that the recall stems from “cGMP deviations”, which refers to violations of Current Good Manufacturing Practice regulations. These rules are critical to ensuring that products are manufactured consistently and controlled according to quality standards. The FDA’s cGMP regulations are designed to guarantee that a product is not only safe for consumer use but also contains the correct ingredients in the appropriate concentrations as advertised.
The affected deodorants were distributed nationwide and made available for purchase at major retailers including Walmart, Dollar Tree, and Amazon. Consumers who may have purchased any of these recalled products are strongly advised to discontinue use immediately and safely dispose of the items.
As of now, A.P. Deauville has not issued a public statement regarding the recall. The FDA continues to monitor the situation and typically recommends that consumers avoid using any products that are subject to recall, especially when manufacturing deviations may compromise product safety or effectiveness.
For the latest updates on product recalls and public safety notices, consumers are encouraged to check the FDA’s official website regularly.
