Recall was prompted due to ‘cGMP deviations’
The FDA report said the recall was prompted by “cGMP deviations,” referring to violations of the Current Good Manufacturing Practice regulations the FDA is responsible for enforcing.
A.P. Deauville, which notes on its website that it manufactures these antiperspirants at an “FDA-regulated” plant in Pennsylvania, distributed the recalled deodorants across the country, the FDA added.
Power Stick deodorants can be found at large retailers such as Walmart, Dollar Tree, and on Amazon. A.P. Deauville operates out of Easton, Pennsylvania, a city located near the state’s border with New Jersey.
The company also produces other personal care products. In addition to its deodorant lines, A.P. Deauville’s website says it manufactures shampoos, conditioners, facial wipes, lotions, and body washes.
