A major deodorant recall is making headlines as more than 67,000 cases of Power Stick roll-on antiperspirants have been pulled from shelves nationwide. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued the alert on July 10, 2025, after finding deviations from Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) in multiple product batches. Sold at popular retailers like Walmart, Dollar Tree, and Amazon, these deodorants are now under scrutiny, and consumers are being urged to stop using them immediately.
Why Were the Deodorants Recalled?
Manufacturer A.P. Deauville triggered the recall after identifying cGMP deviations, which indicate failures to meet standardized production safety and quality protocols. Although no one has reported contamination or adverse reactions, these violations can compromise a product’s safety, strength, and intended formulation.
According to the FDA, “Adherence to cGMP regulations assures the identity, strength, quality, and purity of products.” Failing to meet these standards raises concerns about the integrity of the products consumers apply directly to their skin.
