The FDA has alerted consumers that more than 67,000 boxes of a roll-on deodorant brand have been recalled after the manufacturer failed to meet required manufacturing standards.
What happened
Manufacturer AP Deauville of Easton City, Pennsylvania, initiated a recall affecting three Power Stick roll-on antiperspirant deodorant SKUs. The recall, announced July 10, 2025, covers 67,214 boxes distributed nationwide through retailers including Dollar Tree, Walmart and online marketplaces such as Amazon.
Why the products were pulled
The FDA says the products do not comply with Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMP). This is a quality and safety standard meant to ensure consumer goods are produced under proper, sanitary and controlled conditions. Importantly, the agency has not reported contamination, bacterial findings or specific health incidents tied to these lots — the recall is a precaution based on manufacturing noncompliance.
Which products and lots are affected
Consumers should check packaging for the following product names, UPCs and example lot numbers (lots listed are among those affected):
– Power Stick for Her, “Power Fresh” scent (1.8 fl. oz. / 53 ml)
UPC: 815195019313
Affected lots include: 032026B011, 032226B031, 051626C241, among others.
– Power Stick Invisible Protection, “Spring Fresh” scent (1.8 fl. oz. / 53 ml)

UPC: 815195018224
Affected lots include: 101225D781, 032926B281, 041126B531, among others.
If you find one of these products at home, check the UPC and the lot or batch code printed on the packaging to confirm whether it’s part of the recall.
What to do if you have one of the recalled deodorants
– Stop using the product. Even though no contamination has been reported, avoid using items from the affected lots.
– Dispose of the product in household trash or return it to the retailer for a refund where possible. Keep proof of purchase if you plan to request a refund.
– If you experience any adverse reactions after using the product, discontinue use and contact a healthcare professional. You can also report issues to the FDA’s consumer complaint system (MedWatch).
– Contact the retailer or the manufacturer for specific return/refund guidance if needed.
Why a CGMP-based recall matters
CGMP rules exist to prevent problems before they occur by assuring consistent production and quality control. A recall for CGMP noncompliance—even without confirmed contamination—protects consumers and helps ensure manufacturers address process shortcomings so future batches meet safety and quality standards.
Additional comments and practical tips
– Lot and UPC locations vary by packaging: check the bottom or back of the box or the base of the roll-on for lot codes.
– If you bought the product online, check your order history and the product photos/packaging that shipped to you. Retailers often provide return instructions for recalled products.
– A proactive recall, while inconvenient, is a positive step: it shows regulatory oversight working to prevent potential consumer harm and prompts the manufacturer to fix production problems.
Short summary
AP Deauville has recalled 67,214 boxes of Power Stick roll-on deodorants after FDA found the products did not meet Current Good Manufacturing Practices. No contamination has been reported, but consumers should check UPCs and lot numbers, stop using affected products, and seek refunds or safely dispose of them. The recall helps ensure product quality and consumer safety going forward.
