Procter & Gamble Co. is facing at least 17 federal lawsuits surrounding some of its Old Spice and Secret antiperspirant sprays, alleging they are contaminated with dangerous amounts of a cancer-causing chemical, a review of court records shows.
Six of the lawsuits have been filed in federal court in Cincinnati. They are seeking class-action status. One of the most recent in Cincinnati was filed Dec. 17 on behalf of plaintiffs including two Kentucky residents and a Milford, Ohio, woman who said she used a Secret spray for at least two years.
The lawsuits come in the wake of a report issued in early November by Valisure, an independent lab in Connecticut, which found high levels of benzene – a known human carcinogen – in body-spray products from numerous companies.
Among the products tested by the lab, the highest amount of benzene was found in Old Spice Pure Sport antiperspirant and Secret Powder Fresh 24-Hour. The lab’s analysis also found high levels of benzene in products from several other companies.
