In a major recall issued by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), a popular deodorant brand A.P. Deauville was asked to recall some Power Stick deodorant for manufacturing defects as differences were found in the established manufacturing procedure.
The FDA and A.P. Deauville issued a voluntary recall of over 67,000 cases of Power Stick deodorant last week that were sold across the country. The recall notice didn’t specify the exact nature of issue that has taken place in the deodorant but stated that it is related to deviations with “current good manufacturing practices” (cGMP).
The recall was issued on July 10 and includes over 21,200 cases of the brand’s “power fresh”-scented Power Stick for Her Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant, over 22,400 cases of its “spring fresh” scented Power Stick Invisible Protection Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant and over 23,400 cases of Power Stick Original Nourishing Invisible Protection Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant.
The Easton, Pennsylvania based company has not issued a statement regarding the recall of its products. A report by The Independent stated that the deodorant was available for purchase on Walmart for a pack of three for $21, and a pack of 24 deodorants was available on Dollar Tree for $30. E-commerce giant Amazon was also selling the product.
