The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has just issued an important alert. More than 67,000 units of a popular deodorant have been recalled from the market. Why? I'll tell you everything here, so you can stay informed and safe.
What exactly happened?
The manufacturer AP Deauville, based in Easton City, Pennsylvania, decided to recall three versions of the "Power Stick" roll-on antiperspirant deodorant. The recalled products have different scents and functions:
- Power Stick for Her, "Power Fresh" scent
- Power Stick Invisible Protection, "Spring Fresh" scent
- Power Stick Original Nourishing Invisible Protection
In total, 67,214 boxes have been removed from the market since July 10, 2025. These products are sold in stores like Dollar Tree, Walmart, and Amazon, so it's possible that many people have them at home.
Why are these deodorants being recalled?
The main reason is not due to a health risk or harmful ingredients. According to the FDA, the products do not comply with Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMP). These standards are essential to ensure that products are safe and meet quality requirements.
That is, although there are no reports of contamination or bacteria, the manufacturing process did not meet the necessary criteria. That's why the FDA decided it's better to recall these deodorants to protect consumers.
