Deodorant is one of the items humans use every day. Mostly out of necessity, sweat and bad odor can be very unpleasant company, so deodorants are a necessity. They come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. Now, the Food and Drug Administration has issued a recall on 67,000 cases of Power Stick antiperspirant. A deodorant that has been sold at Walmart, Amazon, and Dollar Tree. The recalled deodorants, made by A.P. Deauville of Easton, Pa., did not fully comply with federal product safety standards, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

“It is important that drugs are manufactured under the conditions and practices required by the regulations”
The FDA said its experts “regulate the quality of pharmaceuticals very carefully. A consumer usually cannot detect (through smell, touch, or sight) that a drug product is safe or if it will work. For this reason, all product requirements must be met, as well as the safety measures required by the government and the entities that oversee product regulation. In fact, all of this depends on each country. As many people know, not all countries accept the same products. The standards in European policies, for example, are stricter. There are several products or ingredients that are sold throughout the Americas but are not permitted in Europe. “It is important that drugs are manufactured under the conditions and practices required by the regulations to ensure that quality is built into the design and manufacturing process at every step,” says the FDA.
In any case, regarding this news, it’s important for citizens to be informed. Because they may own some of these products and not be aware that they can be harmful to their health. And it’s not about distrusting brands; it’s about the fact that at the end of the day, so many millions of products leave factories, that it’s only human nature for a product to turn out defective.
