The Food and Drug Administration wants you to stop using these deodorants ASAP after concerns were raised about a cancer-causing chemical found inside the cans.
Six Sure and Brut brand aerosol sprays are also being recalled after unexpected levels of a cancer-causing chemical, benzene, were detected.
This comes after Old Spice and Secret aerosol spray antiperspirant deodorants were also recalled due to the same cancer-causing chemical.
Although benzene is not an ingredient in the deodorants, testing showed the chemical, which can occur naturally, was present in the propellant that sprays the deodorant out of the can.
