Consumers who use Old Spice deodorant products are accusing the beauty and health giant of covering up “thousands” of reports of painful allergic reactions caused by using the products.
Old Spice is marketed to active men to mask their manly scent between showers.
In a class action lawsuit filed against Procter & Gamble, the makers of Old Spice, victims say the deodorant sticks caused “hundreds, if not thousands” of injuries ranging from rashes to 3rd degree chemical burns.
“Indeed, the problem is rampant, and rather than acknowledge the serious issue, Defendant is concealing it in order to continue selling the product and reaping windfall profits,” an attorney for the plaintiffs wrote in court documents.
“Deodorant is not intended to cause burning, rashes, irritation and other discomfort,” the documents noted.
The lawsuit includes a complaint by Rodney Colley, of Alexandria, Va., who says he suffered rashes and chemical burns after using the Old Spice Pure Sport High Endurance stick.
Photos included in the court documents shows the extent of Colley’s armpit injuries.
According to the NY Daily News, court documents name 13 Old Spice deodorant products — including Swagger Classic Fresh and Pure Sport High Endurance brand — as potentially “defective” and dangerous products.
Court docs included comments from angry consumers who posted images online.
“My son has been using Old Spice Swagger Deodorant and has a rash in his armpit that is red and burning,” wrote one social media user.
“Shame on you Procter and Gamble for continuing to produce this product with all these reviews, and without warning!!!”
A Procter & Gamble spokesman told the Cincinnati Enquirer only “a small number of men” have suffered allergic reactions to its products, which the company attributes to “irritation due to alcohol sensitivity.”
The lawsuit is asking for “at least $25,000 in damages for each Old Spice victim.”
People still wear old spice??
Glad I make my own, natural organic deodorant.
That looks painful
How do you make yours?

I was side-eyeing Mister when I first noticed him seeking out my Dove (but it made sense overall after I realized how sensitive his skin is in general).
Looked like an allergic reaction to me……but hey!
How come you didn’t say you had a store? If I work out like a beast will this prevent me from being musty?
Well? They’re are both holes capable of sexual pleasure?
#AllHolesMatter
We didn’t ask you?
I have to be careful about the type of deodorant I use because I have sensitive skin but that natural stuff doesn’t cut it because I sweat a lot and if I go to the gym a pre-workout application doesn’t prevent my manscent from overpowering it.
Ha, ha, ha!!
LOL!!! You know I had to do the product placement.
I bought my son one of those Old Spice holiday kits a couple of times. ?
Dang. I’m currently wearing my husbands Old Spice deodorant because I lost mine. I love the way it smells and it’s never caused any problems but if this is happening they should at least have a disclaimer on it to cover their hinnies.
BREN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! will you PLEASE change that gravi????!!!!
I’m glad you do too!
I remember first time I saw it. Im like why you trying to get me to stay the night and you got some bish who OBVIOUSLY be here on a regular cause the hoe has Secret in your BATHROOM. He was like thats MY gatdamn deodorant girl. Do you SEE any other kind in there? Since you looking so hard.

LOL
Have you ever tried the natural deodorants? I use Toms??
Okay, I’ve got questions…
1.) How long did he wear the deodorant? How soon did it burn?
2.) What did he previously wear?
3.) Did he continue to wear it after it burned?
IJS, an underarm hairbump puts me in a pickle, so I’m not sure how long this burning took to occur.
You are on a blog hunny: A. You don’t have to and I can still respond and B. I was responding to someone else’s response.
Me too! ??

But the log in name still means…nvmd.

Sean “Diddy” Combs has taken on a new job as the founder of a charter school in New York City’s Harlem neighborhood.
Combs announced Monday that the Capital Preparatory Harlem Charter
School will open in the fall. The school will be overseen by Capital
Prep leader Steve Perry, who founded Capital Prep Magnet School in
Hartford, Connecticut, in 2005.
Combs and the board have hired Orlando, Florida-based educator Danita Jones as the principal of Capital Prep Harlem.
Combs says creating the school is “a dream come true.”
Yesssss. Go Diddy. ????
I tried the original old spice years ago as a teen and that sh** had my underarms itching and peeling. I guess it was too strong for my body but I stopped using it but I liked the smell.
NEW POST
I didn’t need to see that! LOL
I didn’t need to see that! LOL
I’m just looking at the photo and heck it looks like he rubbed every where but the hairs. He played ring around the rosey with the fricken deodorant. Lmbo!!!!!!!! Sorry, but did he not feel the burning sensation? How long was he using the arm crack? He better still not be using it!!

Yes.
TMI
I’m sorry Dub, I ain’t mean to trigger your ptsd -get one of the electric andrenaline dispensers : epipen is an outdated ploy to get your coins !
No, I’ve tried the clinical antiperspirant from dove and degree but I think you may be on to something with the Toms , I’ve heard good things bout it. My next stop was to inquire about botox to stop the sweating period.
ubishu.
ROFL!
Give Toms or one of the other natural brands a try?? It may not have the smell great effect that regular deodorants have, but then again all that perfume and additives is a part of the problem…You can also make your own…I used to using baking soda, tea tree oil, and something else? Just got lazy?? good luck??
lol that shyt wasn’t caused by alcohol. And unless they have a doctor examine this young man, how could they know what the allergic reaction was caused by? That statement is going come back and bite them in the ass in court if they wrong.
ring around the rosey…. arm crack….
ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!
we finna get a call from Mona!
(tell her you want 1mili or you walkin!)
Right! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/4ff387b7de0a38b8adf160bee48021afb93c2fd77c1e4ff4d61d015e7414c53c.gif
That’s right up my ally because I LOVE TEA TREE OIL!
Old Spice take a look at what you’ve done, you’ve gone gave somebody’s son third degree chemical burn, OLD SPICE!!!!???
My ex used to steal my deodorant. Pissed me off because his underarm hair would be all on it when he finished. I let him have it he has eczema.
Ooh, spicy!
Dang… my sons just started liking the old spice-swagger … it smells really good too. Welp another one bites the dust, smh.
Awesome!
Ladies they say a little old spice under the titties will keep the girls fresh all day.
I don’t know why this made me laugh so hard. that last sentence. lol was his dried skin flakes left on it or something?
bwahahaha lmbo I can’t breathe.
yay! dmv in here hellurrrrr
OMG OMG ewwww.
Chile, it was like somebody uses your brush but leaves their hair in it when they give it back to you.? No, thanks . You keep it. I don’t want it.
OMG. I swear the same thing happened to my son!!!! I wrote Johnson and Johnson and told them about it they had me send them pictures of my sons armpits. He also used SWAGGER. I sent them his doctor bill they sent me a check for reimbursement along with some extra for pain and suffering. I believe it’s just the gel deodorant by them that does that. SMH. My son couldn’t play in at least 3 basketball games because he couldn’t lift his arms.
YASSSSSSSS!
Lol!
Singing…Old spice take a look what you’ve done..
What deo do you recommend since people shouldnt be using Old Spice?
What deo should men use, didnt know there was a beef with Old Spice
You better not let Johnson and Johnson know your son was also using a Proctor and Gamble product in conjunction with theirs…….they gonna come get y’all!! LOL, glad your boy is okay.
I don’t know I never said ppl shouldn’t be using it but a great deodorant for every one is degree imo
ohh yea ok I use that. I hope they dont have problems either.
Kmsl!
Wouldn’t have told a soul that story.
This has been happening for many years,my brother and brother in law had the same reaction. Took a year for their skin to heal.
I used old spice ONCE and all the stuff in this article happened to me. I BEEN stopped using Old Spice. Even the body wash just makes me itch!
Yeah, this is a problem. My 14 year old uses it mainly because of the various scents available. He had chemical burns once and because he plays sports we kinda weren’t sure what was going on but we used neosporin and it healed and I told him to throw away the deoderant. And then I saw the news footage one night. Funny thing the very next morning my son came to me again but this time I knew the culprit. SMH.
