Proctor & Gamble issue recall on several products

Utah – Proctor & Gamble announced Tuesday that a recall has been issued for specific Old Spice and Secret aerosol sprays.

According to a press release, the company is recalling all lots nationwide with expiration dates through Sept. 2023 due to the presence of detected Benzene. Consumers are urged to stop using the products and discard them.

Benzene is classified as a human carcinogen and exposure to it can result in cancers such as leukemia, a blood cancer of the bone marrow, and blood disorders that can be life-threatening.

According to P&G, daily exposure to benzene in the recalled products at the levels detected in their testing is not expected to cause adverse health consequences.

Proctor & Gamble has notified its retailers to remove the affected products from the shelves.

Old Spice and Secret say they will issue reimbursement for consumers who have purchased products impacted by the recall. The company added that all other Old Spice and Secret products are not impacted by this issue and may continue to be used.
