This deodorant was just recalled — here's what you need to know
When it comes to deodorant, picking the right formula is a personal decision. Some people prefer antiperspirants (which help stop sweating) and others opt for deodorants (which mask bad smells). But one thing we're confident about is that nobody wants to use a deodorant that has been recalled, which is why we are sharing this news: The Food and Drug Administration has issued a recall on 67,000 cases of Power Stick antiperspirant deodorant. Below, find more details on what this recall means and a list of deodorants you can use instead. Why were Power Stick deodorants recalled? According to the FDA, 67,000 cases of Power Stick deodorant have been recalled. The recall was initiated on July 10, and it applies to the following products from the brand: Power Stick for Her Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant Powder Fresh, 1.8 oz/ 53 mL UPC Code 815195019313 Power Stick Invisible Protection Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant Spring Fresh, 1.8 oz/53 mL UPC Code 815195018194 Power Stick Original Nourishing Invisible Protection Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant, 1.8 oz/53 mL UPC Code 815195018224 There was no specific reason given for the recall, only that the items were recalled for deviating from Current Good Manufacturing Practices — a set of standards established by the FDA. Power Stick deodorant is sold at Dollar Tree, Walmart and on Amazon. No information has been given on what to do if you have already purchased one of these products, though it is usually recommended that you stop using anything that has been recalled. Other deodorants to use instead If the recall impacted your deodorant or you just happen to be in the market for something new, check out the recommendations below. All of them are deodorants we have either previously recommended or that have high ratings. NBC Select associate SEO reporter Ashley Morris wasn't sure she'd like a whole body deodorant, but wound up loving this one after trying it — so much so, she wrote an entire review about it. 'I can wear this deodorant through a full day at the office, an evening workout and cooking dinner without even a hint of odor,' she says. It protects against odor for up to 72 hours and can be used all over your body, according to the brand. For those who prefer a spray, Dove makes a great option. It dries clear and offers 48-hours of protection, according to the brand. It also comes in several scents, so you can choose one that best suits your preferences. Hold it six inches away from your underarm and apply it in two to three short bursts. The stick version of this deodorant was recommended in our guide to the best deodorants. This one has a roll-on top, similar to the recalled products. It contains 15% aluminum chloride (the highest strength available over-the-counter) to help stop sweating, according to the brand. It is fragrance-free and offers 72-hour protection. It has a 4.2-star average from 39,658 reviews on Amazon. Why trust NBC Select?

Posting on social media, a couple who are known as 'Fresh Start Sticks', have shared an insight into their new life in Bulgaria.
