The company’s comments, in its own words

(7/24/2019) The Procter & Gamble Company: Thank you for bringing this report about Gillette Venus to our attention. We’re sorry to learn of our consumer’s experience. Please know nothing is more important to us than the safety of our consumers, and we take reports of this nature seriously. Venus products are manufactured under stringent quality control procedures to help ensure their quality and performance. We maintain an ongoing monitoring program for quality and safety because the safe use of our products is always our highest priority. The information you provided is important to our ongoing efforts to maintain high standards, and it has been shared with our Quality Assurance (QA) Team and with our P&G Safety Team.
Be assured that we strive to ensure all consumers have the best possible experience with our products and our priority is the safety and confidence of the millions of women who trust us with their personal care needs. To that end, we’re disappointed to share that a temporary manufacturing issue resulted in a very small number of Venus Simply3 disposable razors being released which are more likely to cut during normal use; no other Venus products are affected. To find out more about the recalled product please visit us at https://www.gillettevenus.com/en-us/safetynotification. Finally, we would appreciate the opportunity to engage further with the consumer through our Consumer Relations channels by phone toll-free at 1 (800) 445-5388, between 9AM and 6PM EST. Communicating with the consumer directly via phone will allow us to better understand the experience with the use of our product and provide further assistance.
We would like to be notified if the Commission receives a Freedom of Information Act request for the disclosure of the information in this report or if it becomes eligible for publication. We do not object to future release, so long as this letter is appended directly to the released comments.

Hurt, no treatment
Made Jun 28, 2019, sent to the company Jul 24, 2019, published by CPSC Aug 7, 2019

The product, in the report: Gillette Venus Tropical 3 disposable razors with tropical scented handle and a touch of aloe. Comes in green, pink and yellow.

The Gillette Venus Tropical 3 Disposable razors are also having the same misaligned blade problem as the other ones recalled. I have purchased 2 separate packages from 2 different stores and have had the same problems with them cutting me and ripping hair out painfully. Upon looking at the last new razor in the package you can noticeably see the blades do not line up with each other. Please investigate these products as well. I have used them for quite some time with zero problems and then this last month nothing but painful shaving and bleeding from 2 packages.

The product, in the report: Gillette manual razor, Venus with Olay attached

my granddaughter cut her finger, using the Gillette Venus razor. She was in the shower and changing the blade, when her hand slipped because of the slippery lump of Olay attached to the blade. This product is very dangerous when wet (most women and girls shave in the bath or shower) and there should be a warning on the box.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(1/6/2014) The Procter & Gamble Company: Thank you for bringing this incident to our attention. We’re very sorry to hear of your granddaughter’s experience while using a Venus & Olay razor and regret any discomfort she may have felt. We also want to assure you safety is our top priority. Our products go through strict quality checks and are thoroughly evaluated to be safe when used as directed. It’s important for us to be aware of concerns regarding our products, so we appreciate your efforts to get in touch with us to inform us of your experience and interest in additional information on the package.
It may be helpful to know, the razor cartridges come in individual dispenser cups. The product is designed so the handle can be attached to the cartridge while it’s in the dispenser cup. Additionally, there’s a button on the back of the handle that can be pressed to release a used cartridge when you’re ready to replace it with a new one. The step of releasing a used cartridge to replace it with a new one is common to refillable razors generally.
Please know we value the trust that you and other consumers put in our products every day. At Gillette, ensuring the safety of our products is the foundation of everything we do. Again, we’re sorry this happened and we’ve shared your concerns with our Health and Safety team. If there’s anything more we can do for you, please let us know.
