Popular deodorant recall affects over 67,000 cases sold
Last week, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and A.P. Deauville issued a voluntary recall for over 67,000 cases of Power Stick deodorant due to 'cGMP deviations,' which is a difference in the Current Good Manufacturing Practice regulations the FDA oversees.
The recall was first prompted last Thursday (July 10) and applies to more than 20,000 cases of the brand's 'power fresh'-scented Power Stick for Her Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant, over 22,400 cases of its 'spring fresh'-scented Power Stick Invisible Protection Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant, and more than 23,400 cases of the brand's Power Stick Original Nourishing Invisible Protection Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant.
The deodorant was available for purchase at Walmart, where customers could purchase a pack of three for $21, and at Dollar Tree, where a pack of 24 deodorants was available for $30. Customers were also able to purchase the deodorant from Amazon.
The Independent has reached out to A.P. Deauville for comment.

A deodorant recall has affected a popular brand
The last two years have seen an alarming and unexplained rise in recalls. In 2024, approximately 300 food recalls were issued, with those recalls being linked to nearly 1,400 illnesses, a Public Interest Research Group report revealed.
Out of the 1,400 illnesses, 487 people became sick enough to require hospitalization, and 19 people died. While those numbers are still low when weighed against the entire U.S. population, they are also double the number of hospitalizations and deaths from foodborne illnesses in 2023.
The most recent food recall was Danone U.S.'s recall of all of its YoCrunch products currently available on the market on Friday, after customers reported plastic pieces in the dome toppers, which hold various sweet treats such as Oreos or M&M's. Sharp-edged plastic pieces could be a choking hazard or pose other risks.
The recall does not apply to the yogurt itself, but only to the yogurt topping container.
Many lot numbers and expiration dates are involved in the recall, spanning from July 7 through September 4. The full list of affected products can be found here.

Melatonin: The wonder pill for sleep you still can't get hold of
The desperation that comes with a bout of poor sleep is like nothing else. Brain fog, extreme fatigue and constant irritability are all traits of the regularly underslept. In the long term, so are obesity, high blood pressure and low mood – and we're increasingly aware of it. Scarcely more than a third of us say that the amount of sleep we get each night is 'good', a recent survey from Nuffield Health suggests. Enter melatonin, the seemingly natural supplement with the promise to cure this very modern ailment. Melatonin is the hormone that our own brains produce to send us off to sleep each night. Your body naturally produces less melatonin as you age, with the process beginning around the age of 40 and escalates dramatically after 70. In its synthetic form, filled into little white capsules or mixed into gummies, melatonin is available in supermarkets and on Amazon in the United States. It's also prescribed in Britain to people aged over 55 who have insomnia, and to children with ADHD or autism who struggle to sleep. Plenty more of us take melatonin occasionally for jet lag, even though you can't buy it over the counter in this country. 'When I see someone in clinic who is taking melatonin, the majority of the time, they've obtained it in this way rather than having been prescribed it,' says Dr Alanna Hare, a consultant in sleep and ventilation at Royal Brompton Hospital. There is a thriving middle-class black market for melatonin, which is legal to bring over from other countries or buy from online pharmacies, provided you don't sell it on. Dr Hare has 'no doubt' that the desperate parents of children awaiting diagnoses for ADHD or autism find melatonin for them in this way too. Dr Cassie Coleman, a consultant paediatrician with a specialism in neurodiversity and child mental health, agrees. 'It's very common for parents to present at my clinic and tell me, with a huge amount of guilt, that they've accessed melatonin and are giving it to their children who either have ADHD or autism or are awaiting a diagnosis,' she says. 'Many parents are given some melatonin by their friends who also have neurodivergent children, after expressing just how exhausted they feel. Having a child who struggles to sleep can really upend family life, and it's often a massive source of anxiety and frustration for the child themselves too.' When it comes to the effects of melatonin for families, 'the word 'life changing' is common,' says Dr Coleman. Melatonin supplements are considered 'very safe' to take, physically speaking, says sleep expert Dr Sophie Bostock. But while many people swear by it to help them drift off at night, research suggests that unless you have a specific sleep disorder, melatonin pills or chews are little more than placebo. So what's the truth about this highly sought-after sleep aid? What is melatonin? Melatonin is one of many hormones produced in your brain, with hormones being chemical messengers that signal different parts of your body to carry out different hormones. Specifically, melatonin is produced by the pineal gland, a tiny pinecone-shaped node (hence the name) that sits right in the middle of your brain. Other parts of the body like the eyes, skin and gut also produce some melatonin, but far less than is made by your pineal gland.

Are the new designer deodorants really worth it?
Daily Mail journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission - learn more Deodorant, that most basic of items, is having a moment. With the 'skin-ification' of body products (using active ingredients found typically in face serums) gaining traction, skincare brands from Drunk Elephant to Necessaire have been adding deos to their ranges – and last year Gen Z were all over TikTok suggesting switching your usual go-to for a swipe of glycolic acid (more on that later). There's a growing focus on ingredients, too – while long-standing concerns about whether aluminium, often found in anti-perspirants, can cause breast cancer have been dismissed by Cancer Research UK, the claim still unnerves. Yet the armpit business is hotting up. In April, premium refillable-deodorant brand Wild sold its six-year-old company to multinational giant Unilever, netting some £100 million. This might explain the recent slew of designer odour-beaters that have landed on the market. So which new-gen products are worth it? All-over sprays As sweat isn't confined to our armpits, brands are busy trying to convince us we need products to keep us sweet-smelling all over. The recently launched Sure Whole Body Deo (from £5.25, comes in cream, stick and spray form, with a Fresh Citrus scent. Do note, however, that 'whole body' doesn't mean your nether regions. The All Over Deodorant (£14, by women's intimate-care brand Luna Daily, is designed for that area and claims to keep our pH and microbiome at optimum levels without destroying healthy bacteria. However, still steer clear of the easily irritated area inside your bikini line. Rating 2/5 A daily shower is preferable. Sure Women Fresh Citrus Whole Body Deodorant Cream 72h Odour Control 75ml Sweat-free for days Mitchum, long known for high-strength formulas, has just released Women Ultimate 72H Anti-Perspirant & Deodorant (£4.05, promising ultra-powerful (and apparently clinically proven) protection from BO for three days. Another small but mighty option comes from Perspirex (£9.99, which you apply to clean, dry skin before bed, when sweat ducts are less active. While you sleep, aluminium chloride forms temporary plugs in the ducts that stay in place for three to five days – they shed naturally with your skin cells. You may wake up with itchy armpits after the first night, but it does work to limit sweat for several days. Rating 3/5 For the super- sweaty only. £4.05 Shop Perspirex Strong Antiperspirant Roll-On 20ml £9.99 Shop Deo/skincare Turns out the aforementioned Gen Z Tiktok hack – using AHA serums under your arms – does have scientific backing (Glycolic Acid by The Ordinary was the standout favourite). It works by lowering the pH of the underarm skin to make it an unfriendly environment for the bacteria that survive on your sweat – which make you smell. Kosas Chemistry AHA Serum Deodorant (£14, has a trio of AHAs that not only stop any smell but help brighten pigmented underarm skin and chemically exfoliate to avoid ingrown hairs, too. Rating 5/5 We love it! Woo-woo rollerballs Marketed as an 'anti-odorant', Rollr (from £35, has a probiotic-prebiotic formula to stop the bacteria that makes sweat smell. It is applied using the most bougie refillable rollerball ever, and you can choose from different balls made from steel (£35) and precious stones such as rose quartz and blue dumortierite, for 'clarity and focus'. Rating 2/5 Too hippy-dippy for us – we prefer our precious stones in our jewellery, thanks. Rollr £35 Shop Designer scents Can't afford the £153 cologne? The Acqua di Parma Colonia Deodorant Stick (£43, is 28 per cent of the price, has the same scent, recognisable packaging and the promise of a 24-hour stay of fragrance. Rating 3/5 Fab if you can afford it. Colonia Deodorant Stick £43 Shop Sustainable sticks Make Waves Antiperspirant (£20 for an applicator and two refills, wearemake is made entirely in the UK. The applicator was designed by ex-Dyson engineers and produces zero waste – everything is recycled and recyclable. With a focus on natural ingredients suitable for sensitive skin (including hydrating shea butter), there's no risk of irritation. It's the highest rated deodorant on Trustpilot, which is no mean feat. Rating 4/5 For aesthetes. FOR A POUT WITH CLOUT This summer the on-trend lipstick finish is matte – only trouble is traditional formulas are drying and make lips look thinner. Not so with Sisley Phyto-Rouge Velvet (£49, john which actually plumps up pouts and smooths fine lines. Also try L'Oréal Paris Colour Riche Intense Volume Matte Lipstick (£9.99, a creamy, lower-cost alternative that impressively stays the day. Sisley Phyto-Rouge Velvet £49 Shop L'Oréal Paris Colour Riche Intense Volume Matte Lipstick £9.99 Shop BROW BOOSTER I've been using Obagi Medical Nu-Cil Eyebrow Boosting Serum (£135, for the past three months and it has made my patchy, thinning brows visibly darker – and fuller.

Budget £23 smartwatch branded a 'great Apple and Samsung alternative' by shoppers
A smartwatch is the ideal gadget for carrying out a range of tasks from the ease of the wearer's wrist, including monitoring activity levels and heart rate. However, with so many different watches on the market, it can be hard to know how to get the best value for money. While many can cost hundreds of pounds, those looking for a budget-friendly alternative could look at the Soudorv smartwatch, which is available on Amazon for £23.74. Compatible with both Apple and Android devices, the watch features a 1.91-inch HD screen that can be customized with more than 200 watch faces. It features everything you expect from a smartwatch, including health monitoring, Bluetooth calling, a built-in microphone, and HD speaker. As well as the ability to read and send messages from apps including Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram. According to the Amazon item description, it can be charged in two hours and will run for between five and seven days on one charge, or up to 30 days on standby. Suitable for both men and woman, the Soudorv smart watch weighs 35g and is 11mm thick, and currently boasts a 4.6 out of five rating on Amazon, with 135 reviews. Alternatives available include the Fitbit Inspire 3 Fitness Tracker, currently available on Argos for £59.99. Also compatible with Apple and Android devices, this smart watch can run up to 10 days on one two-hour charge, and monitors a number of health metrics. Weighing 21.3g with a 0.6-inch screen, it's a smaller, more lightweight alternative. It can't, however, be used to make phone calls or send and receive messages. The Samsung Galaxy Watch7 is also available through Sky for £9 per month on a 36-month contract. It features health and exercise monitoring, and can be used to make and receive calls and messages, but is not compatible with Apple devices. It features a 1.3 inch screen, and weighs 28.8g, and runs up to 30 hours on one charge, or 40 hours on standby. The Soudorv smart watch currently boasts a 4.6 out of five rating on Amazon, with 135 reviews. One reviewer said: If you're looking for a budget-friendly smartwatch that covers all the basics like: fitness tracking, sleep, steps, heart rate, and phone alerts; this is a great pick. "It's stylish enough for both men and women, and is reliable enough to become part of your daily routine. I like this alternative to an Apple or Samsung watch, if you don't have one, and you like monitoring your vitals while working out." Another happy customer wrote: "I've been using the Soudorv Smartwatch for a couple of days now, and I'm honestly impressed by how much it offers at such an affordable price. The display is large, bright, and easy to read - even outdoors. "It tracks my steps accurately, monitors my heart rate and sleep quality, and even reminds me to move if I've been sitting too long. The sleep tracker has been helpful in giving me a better understanding of my rest patterns." But one reviewer said it was 'a bit chunky' as they said: "It's quite thick on the wrist, which made it uncomfortable to wear."
