As each report says it, in short words; CPSC’s own words are under each.

The reports, as CPSC published them

Reports people made to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. CPSC publishes each one after sending it to the company named, and doesn’t guarantee they’re accurate. A report isn’t a recall.

Each report is the words of the person who made it, as CPSC published them. The company’s comments, where CPSC published any, are set apart as the company’s own.

  1. No one hurt

    Made Nov 29, 2019, sent to the company Dec 27, 2019, published by CPSC Jan 10, 2020

    The product, in the report: . 6 oz. Net Weight pressurized aerosol spray canister of “The Essence of Man” BRUT Classic Scent antiperspirant/deodorant. 2.5” Diameter x 7” Height (to top of metal canister flange), Medium/Dark Green metal aerosol canister, with hard black plastic spray can cap (similar to those used on handheld spray paint cans). Product Manufacturer: Idelle Labs, Ltd. / Helen Of Troy, Ltd. of Canada Identifiable Markings on the rear of the canister, just above the metal base of the canister: “Made in Canada, Distributed By Idelle Labs, Ltd., El Paso, TX 79912 USA BRU 07010 CAN 001”

    As I attempted to spray my under-arms with a freshly opened, previously UNUSED/new Idelle Labs Ltd. 6 oz. Net Weight pressurized aerosol spray canister of “The Essence of Man” BRUT Classic Scent antiperspirant/deodorant, within the first few seconds of spraying on the deodorant, the spray head on the top of the can made a sharp “POP” sound, similar to a gun shot, and ejected the small hard plastic spray nozzle insert (cylinder-shaped hard plastic, measuring approximately 3/16” diameter x 3/16” length) from the canister’s spray head, impacting my skin at high velocity, and causing abrupt but thankfully only minor pain. Had the spray head’s nozzle insert impacted my eye(s) or the eye(s) of someone standing next to me at the mirror in the bathroom at the time, there would have been a HIGH risk of severe injury, with possible permanent loss of eyesight caused by the hard plastic spray nozzle insert’s high velocity impact to the eyeball. Since this event is a REPEAT instance/occurrence of a PREVIOUSLY reported IDENTICAL incident, from a completely DIFFERENT batch of canisters, I didn’t bother trying to re-install the center nozzle insert, to try repeating application of the antiperspirant spray, using the same defective spray nozzle head. (I REPLACED the defective nozzle with a different one that I had SAVED from previously expended canisters, that still worked PROPERLY when sprayed, and continued using the can until it was exhausted.) There are FOUR more new/previously unopened/unused spray cans in the same 6-can multi-pack, which I have NOT tried to use yet. The antiperspirant/deodorant was purchased as a multi-pack of six canisters, from the Internet on-line vendor: Amazon. com online, within the past six months (between MAY 2019 & NOV 2019). Product canister Description: 2.5” Diameter x 7” Height (to top of metal canister flange), Medium/Dark Green metal aerosol canister, with hard black plastic spray can cap (similar to those used on handheld spray paint cans). Product Manufacturer: Idelle Labs, Ltd. / Helen Of Troy, Ltd. of Canada Identifiable Markings on the rear of the canister, just above the metal base of the canister: “Made in Canada, Distributed By Idelle Labs, Ltd., El Paso, TX 79912 USA BRU 07010 CAN 001”

    Identifiable Markings on the Bottom (Underneath the Base ) of the Canister) : “ (L) 18351 17:45 EXP NOV 2020 “

    Made Jan 8, 2019, sent to the company Feb 13, 2019, published by CPSC Mar 1, 2019

    The product, in the report: The anti-perspirant/deodorant was purchased as a multi-pack of six canisters, from the Internet on-line vendor: Amazon. com online, within the past few months (between NOV 2018 to DEC 2018). Product: “Essence of Man” BRUT Classic Scent spray-on Anti-Perspirant/Deodorant Product canister Description: 2.5” Diameter x 7” Height (to top of metal canister flange), Medium/Dark Green metal aerosol canister, with hard black plastic spray can cap (similar to those used on handheld spray paint cans). Product Manufacturer: Idelle Labs, Ltd. / Helen Of Troy, Ltd. of Canada Identifiable Markings on the rear of the canister, just above the metal base of the canister: “Made in Canada, Distributed By Idelle Labs, Ltd., El Paso, TX 79912 USA BRU 07010 CAN 001” Identifiable Markings on the Bottom (Underneath the Base ) of the Canister) : “ (L) 17263 00:56 EXP SEP 2019 “ UPC Barcode Data: 8 27755 07010 8

    As I attempted to spray my under-arms with a freshly opened, previously UNUSED/new Idelle Labs Ltd. 6 oz. Net Weight pressurized aerosol spray canister of “The Essence of Man” BRUT Classic Scent anti-perspirant/deodorant, within the first few seconds of spraying on the deodorant, the spray head on the top of the can made a sharp “POP” sound, similar to a gun shot, and ejected the small hard plastic spray nozzle insert (cylinder-shaped hard plastic, measuring approximately 3/16” diameter x 3/16” length) from the canister’s spray head, impacting my skin at high velocity, and causing abrupt but only minor pain. Had the spray head’s nozzle insert impacted my eye(s) or the eye(s) of someone standing next to me at the mirror in the bathroom at the time, there would have been a HIGH risk of severe injury, with possible permanent loss of eyesight caused by the hard plastic spray nozzle insert’s high velocity impact. I found the small hard plastic spray nozzle insert, and re-inserted it back into the spray can’s spray head, and tried applying the spray once again. The spray head insert nozzle AGAIN “popped” loudly, and was ejected at high velocity from the spray head. I tried a SECOND New canister from the same multi-pack of spray deodorant, and IT ALSO did the same exact thing, ejecting the small spray head nozzle insert within the first few seconds of spraying the anti-perspirant from the can(s). There are three more new/previously un-opened/unused spray cans in the same multi-pack, which I have NOT tried to use yet. Only ONE canister of the multi-pack has already been completely exhausted and disposed of. The FIRST canister of the multi-pack did NOT have any issues during its usage. The anti-perspirant/deodorant was purchased as a multi-pack of six canisters, from the Internet on-line vendor: Amazon. com online, within the past few months (between NOV 2018 to DEC 2018). Product canister Description: 6 oz. Net weight, 2.5” Diameter metal cylinder x 7” Height (to top of metal canister flange), Medium/Dark Green pressurized aerosol canister, with hard black plastic spray can cap (similar to those used on handheld spray paint cans). Product Manufacturer: Idelle Labs, Ltd. / Helen Of Troy, Ltd. of Canada Identifiable Markings on the rear of the canister, just above the metal base of the canister: “Made in Canada, Distributed By Idelle Labs, Ltd., El Paso, TX 79912 USA BRU 07010 CAN 001” Identifiable Markings on the Bottom (Underneath the Base ) of the Canister) : “ (L) 17263 00:56 EXP SEP 2019 “ I have confirmed several of the cans in the multi-pack have IDENTICAL markings.
