The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recalled 67,000 Power Stick deodorants for failing to comply with good manufacturing practices. Read on to learn which brands have been affected.

The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has just announced a mass recall of over 67,000 Power Stick deodorants. These deodorants were manufactured by A.P. Deauville, and the FDA had ordered their recall due to deviations from current good manufacturing practices, or cGMP.

This Power Stick deodorant recall is voluntary, and the exact breakup of the deodorants being recalled is as follows: 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, and 23,467 cases of Power Stick Original Nourishing Invisible Protection Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant.

The FDA recalled the Power Stick Deodorants for not following cGMP

The Power Stick Deodorants were recalled because they didn’t follow Current Good Manufacturing Practices. Complying with these practices is intended to ensure that “a product is safe for use, and that it has the ingredients and strength it claims to have.”, per the FDA’s own website.

A recall is underway for tens of thousands of cases of Power Stick antiperspirant deodorant, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The FDA is among the most crucial regulatory agencies in the United States, and its ambit covers everything from food safety to over-the-counter pharmaceutical drugs, alongside vaccines and cosmetics, and grooming products such as deodorants. The manufacturer of the recalled Power Stick Deodorants, A.P. Deauville, has not publicly spoken out about the recall.

The Power Stick deodorants were sold at major retailers nationwide

The recalled Power Stick Deodorants have been sold nationwide through various online and big box retail stores including Amazon, Walmart, and Dollar Tree. It’s quite likely that these deodorants will have fallen into the hands of many Americans.

Due to the voluntary nature of the recall, it remains unclear whether all of the 67,000 deodorant sticks will find their way back to the retailers. The FDA has generally recommended that consumers either return any products marked for recall or simply discard them.
