Popular Power Stick deodorant pulled from Walmart, Amazon shelves in major recall
Over 67,000 cases of Power Stick deodorants are being pulled off shelves nationwide after the FDA flagged serious manufacturing problems. A.P. Deauville, the company behind the products, started the recall on July 10 because of violations in factory safety rules, known as "cGMP deviations." While the FDA hasn't detailed exact risks, such issues can mean contamination, unapproved ingredients, or poor quality control. The recalled roll-ons were sold at Walmart, Dollar Tree, and Amazon, putting shoppers across the U.S. at potential risk. If you've bought any Power Stick deodorant recently, stop using it immediately and check if your lot number matches the recall list. The recall targets three specific Power Stick varieties: the "Power Fresh" scent for women, the "Spring Fresh" Invisible Protection line, and the Original Nourishing version. Each comes in a 1.8 oz roll-on bottle. Affected lot numbers include 032026B011 (Power Fresh), 031726A991 (Spring Fresh), and 101225D781 (Original), among dozens of others listed by the FDA. Roughly 21,000–23,000 cases per product are involved, totaling 67,214 cases. The deodorants lack expiration dates, so identifying them relies solely on UPC codes and lot numbers printed on packaging. No injuries have been reported yet, but the FDA stresses that manufacturing flaws could cause skin irritation or infections. Consumers with any recalled Power Stick deodorant should discontinue use right away. To check if your product is unsafe, locate the lot number on the bottom or side of the bottle and match it against the FDA's enforcement report or retailer announcements. If it's on the list, contact Walmart, Dollar Tree, or Amazon for a full refund or replacement. You can also reach out to A.P. Deauville directly through their website for guidance. Even if you've used the product without issues, return it, unseen problems like chemical contamination may still pose hidden dangers. This isn't just about deodorant, it's about trust. A.P. Deauville's Pennsylvania factory claims to be "FDA-regulated," yet it failed basic safety standards designed to protect consumers. Such oversights can lead to nationwide scares, as seen here with products shipped to major discount chains and online giants. The company also makes shampoos, body washes, and facial wipes, though those items aren't part of this recall. The FDA continues investigating, urging public vigilance. Always check recall updates on their website, especially for everyday items applied directly to your skin.

Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc., based in New York, issued a voluntary recall for more than 10,000 cases of its honey cough syrup on June 17 because they may have been spoiled by the bacterium Bacillus cereus. The FDA subsequently issued a Class II risk warning for the recall on July 11. Newsweek contacted Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. for comment by email outside of regular working hours.

Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. issued a voluntary recall for more than 10,000 cases of its honey cough syrup on June 17, 2025. Heiko Wolfraum/picture-alliance/dpa/AP Images Why It Matters A Class II risk classification refers to a situation in which the "use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote," according to the FDA. The FDA warned in its recall notice that Bacillus cereus may lead to two forms of food-borne illnesses. The first can cause symptoms including nausea, vomiting and stomach cramps that typically develop between one and six hours after consuming contaminated food. The second form of illness often causes stomach cramps and diarrhea that start between eight and 16 hours after consuming the contaminated product. The FDA added: "Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term illness, exposure to high levels of foodborne B. cereus can cause death." What To Know The product affected by the recall is Little Remedies Honey Cough Syrup - UPC code: 7-56184-10737-9 - Lot codes: 0039 / 0545 / 0640 / 0450 / 1198 - expiry dates: 11/2025 / 01/2026 / 02/2026 / 05/2026 / 12/2026. A total of 245,352 units are impacted by the recall, and they were distributed nationwide to retailers and online from 12/14/2022 to 06/04/2025. The recall does not include other Little Remedies products, the agency said. As of June 18, no illnesses had been reported in connection to the consumption of the affected product. What People Are Saying The FDA, in a report: "Bacillus cereus is an aerobic spore-forming bacterium that is commonly found in soil, on vegetables, and in many raw and processed foods. B. cereus food poisoning may occur when foods are prepared and held without adequate refrigeration for several hours before serving, with B. cereus reaching >106 cells/g. Foods incriminated in past outbreaks include cooked meat and vegetables, boiled or fried rice, vanilla sauce, custards, soups, and raw vegetable sprouts." The FDA, in its alert: "Adverse reactions or quality problems experienced with the use of this product may be reported to the FDA's MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program either online, by regular mail or by fax." What Happens Next The recall is listed as ongoing, according to the FDA. Consumers who are in possession of the recalled cough syrup should stop using it immediately and contact their health care provider if they experience any symptoms related to the use of it, the FDA said. The company will offer refunds to consumers who bought the product from the recalled lots.
