@wellnes.by.daily: Old Spice recalled products after testing found a known carcinogen at levels up to 9× the FDA limit. In 2021, independent laboratory testing detected benzene in certain Old Spice aerosol sprays. Benzene is classified as a Group 1 human carcinogen and has been linked to leukemia and other blood cancers. Some tested products reportedly contained up to 17.7 ppm of benzene, significantly above the FDA’s temporary limit for unavoidable contamination. The findings led to a recall and multiple lawsuits, with Procter & Gamble later reaching an $8 million settlement. The controversy renewed debate about product testing, manufacturing quality control, and ingredient transparency in personal care products used by millions.
