More than 67,000 cases of Power Stick deodorant have been recalled — what to know

Various Power Stick products have been recalled because of current good manufacturing practice deviations.

Power Stick products are sold at Dollar Tree, Walmart and Amazon.

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.

The antiperspirant deodorant items are made by A.P. Deauville, a company based in Easton, Pennsylvania. The following products have been recalled:

  • Power Stick for Her Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant Powder Fresh, 1.8 oz/ 53 mL UPC Code 815195019313 — 21,265 cases
  • Power Stick Invisible Protection Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant Spring Fresh, 1.8 oz/53 mL UPC Code 815195018194 — 22,482 Cases
  • Power Stick Original Nourishing Invisible Protection Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant, 1.8 oz/53 mL UPC Code 815195018224 — 23,467 Cases

The items are being recalled for CGMP deviations. CGMP refers to Current Good Manufacturing Practices established by the FDA.

“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.

Power Stick products are sold at Dollar Tree, Walmart and Amazon.

The recall does not specify which regulations weren’t adhered to, nor what consumers should do if they’ve already purchased these products.

“We take pride in manufacturing and offering products that are great quality at an affordable price,” A.P. Deauville says on its website.

“We obsess over every part of products from the color of the barrels to making sure the fragrances are on trend and last long. Our antiperspirant/deo sticks and shower products are manufactured in our FDA regulated factory.”
