More Than 67,000 Cases of Popular Deodorant Have Been Recalled: But Why
The Food and Drug Administration has issued a recall for more than 67,000 cases of Power Stick deodorant products for not meeting safety and quality standards.
“CGMP provides for systems that assure proper design, monitoring, and control of manufacturing processes and facilities,” the FDA says on its website.
“Adherence to the CGMP regulations assures the identity, strength, quality, and purity of drug products by requiring that manufacturers of medications adequately control manufacturing operations.”
“This formal system of controls at a pharmaceutical company, if adequately put into practice, helps to prevent instances of contamination, mix-ups, deviations, failures, and errors,” the agency continued.
The items are being recalled for CGMP deviations. CGMP refers to Current Good Manufacturing Practices established by the FDA.
The antiperspirant deodorant items are made by A.P. Deauville, a company based in Easton, Pennsylvania. The following products have been recalled:
The recall does not specify which regulations weren’t adhered to, nor what consumers should do if they’ve already purchased these products.
Power Stick products are sold at Dollar Tree, Walmart and Amazon.
