    FDA: Deodorant Recalled Due To Unexpected Levels Of Cancer-Causing Chemicals

    Sure and Brut aerosol deodorant sprays sold nationwide are being recalled due to the presence of benzene, a cancer-causing chemical, according to a notice posted by the Food and Drug Administration • Full Story

    All Sure and Brut aerosol sprays with expiration dates on or before August 2023 are voluntarily being recalled by TCP HOT Acquisition LLC dba HRB Brands voluntarily.

    We’re told the sprays contain benzene, a human carcinogen. Exposure to benzene can occur by inhalation, orally and through the skin and it can result in cancers including leukemia and blood cancer of the bone marrow and blood disorders which can be life-threatening.

    Westport, Connecticut, TCP HOT Acquisition LLC dba HRB Brands is voluntarily recalling all lot numbers with expiration dates on or before August 2023 of the Sure and Brut Aerosol Sprays listed in the table below to the consumer level due to the presence of benzene. While benzene is not an ingredient in any of the recalled products, a review showed that unexpected levels of benzene came from the propellant that sprays the product out of the can. These products were owned and distributed by Helen of Troy Limited prior to June 7, 2021.
