Multiple Deodorant and Body Spray Products Recalled for Contamination Risk

Gold Star Distribution is recalling multiple deodorant and body spray products due to insanitary conditions and rodent exposure at their distribution center. Affected brands include Axe, Lucky, and Lady deodorants distributed nationwide.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall for CGMP deviations involving rodent exposure and insanitary conditions at a distribution facility. While no illnesses or injuries have been reported, the sanitation failures pose a theoretical risk of contamination. This meets the criterion for 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.'

Plain-English summary

Gold Star Distribution Inc. is recalling multiple deodorant and body spray products due to current good manufacturing practice (CGMP) deviations discovered at their distribution center. The recalled products include Axe body sprays (available in scents including Wild Spice, Apollo, Black, Dark Temptation, Gold, Excite, Ice Chill, Musk, and Adrenalin), Lucky brand men's stick deodorants (Spring Fresh and Fresh Comfort varieties), and Lady brand cherry blossom deodorant. All lots within their expiration dates that were distributed by Gold Star Distribution are included in the recall, affecting consumers nationwide.

The recall was issued because insanitary conditions including rodent exposure and activity were identified at Gold Star's distribution center. These conditions create a potential risk of contamination to the deodorant products.

Consumers who have purchased any of the recalled products should discontinue use. Consumers with questions about the recall should contact the FDA or the manufacturer directly.
