🫧 FDA Triggers Massive Power Stick Recall — 67,000 Deodorants Pulled Over Safety Breach

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced a major recall of several Power Stick deodorants sold across the country. More than 67,000 roll-on antiperspirant units are being taken off store shelves because of manufacturing issues that could lead to temporary or reversible health effects.

Which Power Stick Deodorants Are Affected

The recall affects products sold through well-known retailers, including Dollar Tree and Amazon. It has been classified as a Class II recall, meaning the products may cause mild or temporary health problems, but serious harm is unlikely. The action was initiated voluntarily by Pennsylvania-based manufacturer A.P. Deauville on July 10, and the FDA officially posted the classification on July 31.

The recall involves three types of Power Stick roll-on antiperspirant deodorants. One of them is Power Stick for Her Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant in the Powder Fresh scent. This product has a UPC code of 815195019313, and a total of 21,265 cases have been recalled.

Another is the Power Stick Invisible Protection Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant in the Spring Fresh scent, with UPC code 815195018194 and 22,482 cases recalled. The third is the Power Stick Original Nourishing Invisible Protection Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant in the Original scent, with UPC code 815195018224 and 23,467 cases recalled.

In total, these products make up more than 67,000 units now being pulled from shelves. All were sold across the United States, both in physical stores and online marketplaces.

Why the Recall Happened

The FDA says the recall happened because the company broke Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) rules. These are strict rules that make sure personal care products are safe, good quality, and pure before they are sold. The FDA did not say which rules were broken. CGMP rules cover things like keeping the factory clean, measuring ingredients correctly, and using proper labels.

Because the recall is classified as Class II, the affected deodorants could potentially cause health effects, but these are expected to be temporary or medically reversible. The risk of serious or lasting harm is considered low.

This is not the first time the company has faced regulatory action. In the past, its products have been linked to other compliance issues, although those were unrelated to the current recall.

What Consumers Should Do Now

People who have purchased any of the recalled deodorants are being advised to stop using them immediately. Continued use could lead to mild health problems, depending on the specific quality issues involved.

First, check your deodorant packaging. Look for the product name, scent, and UPC code. See if they match the recalled products. If they do, stop using the deodorant right away. Throw it away safely following local disposal rules. Do not leave it in open trash bins where children or pets can get to it.

Some stores may accept returns or provide refunds for recalled items. Consumers can also visit the manufacturer’s official website for further instructions on how to return or dispose of the product.

The manufacturer said its deodorant and shower products are made in an FDA-regulated factory. It added that owning the factory helps control quality and keep prices low. But even with these assurances, the recall is still active. The affected products should not be used.
