Procter & Gamble issued a voluntary recall last Friday of nearly three dozen aerosol hair products, including dry shampoos and dry conditioners, due to the potential presence of benzene, a cancer-causing agent.
The affected brands include Pantene, Aussie, Herbal Essences, and Waterless produced in the United States. The company also recalled certain Old Spice and Secret aerosol spray antiperspirants and Old Spice "Below Deck" spray products last month due to the presence of benzene. Upon closer examination, they found "unexpected levels" of benzene in the rest of its aerosol products.
"Following recent reports that indicated traces of benzene in some aerosol spray products, we began a review of our total portfolio of aerosol products," P&G said in an official statement. "While benzene is not an ingredient in any of our products, our review showed that unexpected levels of benzene came from the propellant that sprays the product out of the can. We detected benzene in aerosol dry shampoo spray products and aerosol dry conditioner spray products."

With woman spraying all that benzene on them and then covering their heads with hair dye & their faces with makeup, it’s no wonder most are cray cray.
Vaccines are fine though. Death and disability? [shrug] No need for a recall.
If you saw me without makeup and hairspray, you would go cray cray. Certain things, once seen, can never be unseen.
The human torch if you aren’t careful around open flame.
LOL. Saw that once at the county club in the eighties. A socialite with big hair bent over too close to the candles on the appetizer table. Wasn’t seriously injured but the next time I saw her she was sporting a wig.
gorilla glue for the win
“Made in China”. The same place that gave you lead in childrens toys and poison in dog food.
I’ve always thought that most women would be very surprised at how accepting men would be toward women who do less preening, rather than more. All that fuss is mostly done so other women will compliment them.
This.🙄
“The company also recalled certain Old Spice and Secret aerosol spray antiperspirants and Old Spice “Below Deck” spray products...”
First time I’ve heard of “Below Deck” spray products. Not even gonna venture a guess...
TONS of useless drywall board...
Consider the suburban-female vote...
Because just the right amount of cancer causing substances is ok. Just a simple mechanical calibration issue.
Has that familiar aroma of the moldy bilges of an abandoned Spanish Galleon.
I do not use any P & G products. They are STILL experimenting on animals. Bad enough so-called scientists still do for medical purposes. I refuse to use any household or beauty product that blinds bunnies or tortures other animals. I do use hair spray because most of my hair fell out due to chemotherapy.
Says the products in question were made in the US
“ The affected brands include Pantene, Aussie, Herbal Essences, and Waterless produced in the United States”
Old spice makes some wonderful deodorant I’m not sending mine back.
There is a long list of the products at the site.
