The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has made a major recall of popular deodorants sold nationwide.
On July 10, Pennsylvania-based manufacturer AP Deauville voluntarily awarded three power bar deodorants, affecting more than 67,000 products across the United States.
Deodorants sold at retailers including Dollar Tree and Amazon are: Rolling Anti-Turbo Deodorant Deodorant (Fresh Powder), Powerless Invisible Protective Anti-Turbo Deodorant (Spring Fresh) and Power Stick’s Original Nutrition Protective Rolling Anti-Turbo Deodorant (Original).

Why it matters
The recall shows that the recalled bar products are related to violations of current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) requirements designed to ensure that the drug is produced under a quality system to ensure identity, strength, quality and purity.
The FDA said the recall is a specified Class II state, which is three levels of use in cases where “a situation that may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or the possibility of serious adverse health consequences are out of reach.” ”
AP Deauville is also a manufacturer of shampoos, conditioners, lotions, shower gels and facial wipes.
In 2005, the company's Power Stick products also reached a $50,000 settlement with the California Air Resources Commission, alleging that the product contains volatile organic compounds that exceed the state's limits.
