More than 67,000 cases of popular roll‑on deodorant are coming off store shelves after federal regulators flagged manufacturing concerns that could affect consumer safety.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced on July 10 that A.P. Deauville, LLC is voluntarily recalling specific lots of its Power Stick roll‑on antiperspirants sold nationwide at retailers such as Walmart, Dollar Tree, and Amazon.
First things first: who should pay attention? Anyone who keeps a Power Stick roll‑on in the bathroom or gym bag should read on, check the label, and act fast before the next workout.
Details of the Power Stick deodorant recall consumers need to know
According to the company, the recall targets three Power Stick varieties packed in 1.8‑ounce bottles. Regulators say the products were made outside “current good manufacturing practice” (cGMP) standards, a framework designed to guarantee quality and ingredient integrity. While the FDA has not assigned a formal risk level yet, the agency recommends that users stop applying the affected deodorants immediately.

How to identify if your roll‑on deodorant is among the recalled lots
Still unsure whether your product is safe? Compare the eight‑digit lot code stamped at the bottle’s base with the list above or visit the recall page on the FDA’s website. Shoppers who bought multipacks online should examine every unit, because mixed lots can slip into a single shipment. What steps to protect your health and seek a refund after the recall? Stop using any affected deodorant right away—yes, even if it “still smells fine.” Regulators advise the following course of action:
- Discontinue use immediately to avoid potential skin irritation.
- Dispose of the product in household trash or return it to the store for a full refund.
- Consult a healthcare provider if you notice redness, rash, or other reactions.
- Report any adverse events to the FDA’s MedWatch program by phone or online.
