“ Several Old Spice and Secret aerosol spray antiperspirants and hygiene products have been voluntarily recalled in the United States due to the presence of the cancer-causing chemical benzene, Procter & Gamble says.”

“Benzene exposure can occur by inhalation, orally and through the skin. It can lead to cancers including leukemia and blood cancer of the bone marrow, as well as potentially life-threatening blood disorders.”

“Procter & Gamble said that it has not received any reports of harm from the recalled products, which were distributed across the country.”


There is a long list of products shown on the webpage. Pass the info along as you see fit.

I gave up on aerosols 3 decades ago. Maybe a good decision, one of my few.

I don’t even think to include “aerosols” or “aerosols only” in the subject line.

I know the demographic of this group is on the older side, but I didn't realize it was "Old Spice" old!

I resemble that remark.  Old Spice is in my road kit and on my bathroom shelf.  Works great!  But its not an aerosol.
