The FDA has announced a recall of 67,000 cases of Power Stick deodorant, effective July 10. The recall affects the following products:

• Power Stick for Her Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant Powder Fresh, 1.8 oz / 53 mL — UPC: 815195019313

• Power Stick Invisible Protection Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant Spring Fresh, 1.8 oz / 53 mL — UPC: 815195018194

• Power Stick Original Nourishing Invisible Protection Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant, 1.8 oz / 53 mL — UPC: 815195018224

While the FDA did not cite a specific safety issue, the recall was issued due to the products’ failure to comply with Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMP) — a set of quality standards required for manufacturing.

These Power Stick deodorants are commonly sold at Dollar Tree, Walmart, and Amazon. Although no direct guidance has been provided for consumers who already purchased the affected items, it’s generally recommended to stop using any recalled products immediately.
