These regulations ensure that products are consistently manufactured in controlled environments, maintaining quality, safety, and efficacy.
However, it is important to note that no harmful substance was found in those products. cGMP issues, although do not always indicate direct harm, any breach in manufacturing protocols – be it equipment calibration, hygiene, ingredient verification, or documentation control – can compromise product integrity, making this recall a critical decision.
Why
cGMP compliance
matters
Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) form a regulatory backbone ensuring that mass‑produced items, from medications to deodorants, meet rigorous safety and quality benchmarks. When deviations occur, whether in cleanliness, equipment calibration, or ingredient testing, consumer safety can't be guaranteed, even if no immediate harm is reported.
Even in the absence of direct harm, any cGMP lapse poses potential quality risks, hence the proactive recall.
Which items were recalled
The recall includes three 1.8-oz roll‑on deodorants, each with specific lot numbers:
Power Stick for Her Roll‑On 'Power Fresh'
– 21,265 cases, e.g., lots 032026B011, 071226D381, 082826E402.
