Chemical contamination: presence of benzene
P&G is recalling Secret Powder Fresh deodorant products due to benzene contamination. This chemical is a known carcinogen, so affected users should stop using the product immediately to avoid potential health risks.
Benzene is a known carcinogen that can cause cancer and other serious health issues when inhaled or absorbed through the skin. The contamination in these deodorant products means that users could be exposed to harmful levels of benzene during normal use.

Check the product label for the brand 'Secret', product name 'Powder Fresh', and size (4oz or 6oz). Look for lot numbers listed in the recall notice, such as 00701458SJ or 00861458SA.
