67,000 Power Stick Cases Pulled Over Manufacturing Concerns
On July 10, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a nationwide recall of over 67,000 cases of Power Stick deodorant due to concerns related to manufacturing practices. A.P. Deauville, the manufacturer based in Easton, Pennsylvania, voluntarily issued this recall following identified deviations from Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP), which are regulations ensuring product quality and safety.
The recall specifically targets three varieties of the Power Stick line: 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. All products are packaged in 1.8-ounce containers.
Power Stick deodorants are distributed nationwide, with major retailers such as Amazon, Walmart, and Dollar Tree carrying the products. Consumers in possession of these items are advised by the FDA to discontinue their use and either dispose of them appropriately or return them to the retailer from which they were purchased. No reports of adverse reactions have been recorded, adding a layer of assurance for those affected by the recall.
The FDA’s statement regarding the recall indicates that the identified cGMP deviations point to discrepancies with manufacturing protocols that ensure the claimed potency and ingredient composition of consumer goods. However, specific details or defects regarding the affected products have not been disclosed by either the FDA or A.P. Deauville.
