It’s important to stay informed about recalls, because doing so truly impacts your life. Of course, the sooner you know about a recall, the better, because you can make sure to get rid of the suspecting item and keep everyone in your family safe.
“Recalls are important because they protect the public from products that may cause injury, illness or even death,” the Food and Drug Administration notes.
Now, a large number of Power Stick deodorants manufactured by A.P. Deauville are being recalled for manufacturing defects, according to the Food and Drug Administration.
The recall includes more than 67,000 cases of roll-on deodorants that were sold across the United Stated, according to a notice posted by the agency. The problem with the deodorants revolves around deviations with “current good manufacturing practices,” a set of guidelines in the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry.
The recalled deodorants include the Power Stick for her roll-on Antiperspirant Deodorant Powder Fresh, 1.8 oz/53 mL; the Power Stick Invisible Protection Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant Spring Fresh, 1.8 oz/53 mL; and the Power Stick Original Nourishing Invisible Protection Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant, 1.8 oz/ 53 mL. Find specific lot numbers on the FDA’s website.
A press release has not been issued for the recall as of yet. The status of the recall is ongoing.
According to the FDA, “A recall is an action taken by a company to correct or remove from the market an FDA regulated product that violates U.S. laws and regulations.” They add that “recalls may be initiated voluntarily by a company, or at the request of the FDA.”
More than 83,000 FDA regulated products were recalled between the years 2014 and 2024. The FDA adds that “most recalls involve removing violative FDA regulated products from the market, but there are instances where a violation can be corrected without removing the products from distribution.”
