    Got chemical burns from using Old Spice deodorant. Burned blistered then skin peelings… Unacceptable. Should not be sold. I don’t break out from any scents or have any skin sensitivities to any products and this blew my mind and is very annoying.

    I got some serious rashes. Redness and skin peeling. Including burning sensation and pain. This whole experience has been shocking and very frustrating. I used Old Spice deodorant Pure Sport for the first time and after a few uses I started experiencing these symptoms. Not acceptable.

      My daughter used Old Spice Oasis with vanilla notes deodorant twice and developed very painful chemical burns. I would not recommend this product for anyone to use. Surely she isn’t the only one that has experience this?

      The deodorant I'm using is the original and it makes my armpits burn and itch and they are forming a rash and is rather annoying and is painful, please fix this or I will use a different brand although Old Spice was my favorite brand.

      I used this product "Old Spice Pure Sport "and noticed a severe burning under my armpits... I immediately stopped using the product and the rash continued to get much worse... My skin is now so bad that it hurts to even close them. Someone needs to pay for this.. Why is this product. Someone please help...

      We bought Old Spice Vanilla + Shea Total Body deodorant and loved the scent straight out of the container. However all of my husband's shirts have a strange rancid smell in the arm pit area AFTER washing them. He would pull a freshly washed shirt out of the closet and pull it over his head complaining it had a rancid smell. Also the fold where our bedspread basically tucks under our armpits when we sleep with our arms out of the covers has the exact same smell. Needless to say we won't be buying that product again. It took us 3 containers to figure out that the deodorant was the culprit that we thought we were using to smell better!

      Terrible product! Had been using it for a couple days until I realized my armpits had been noticeably itchy for a while. When I went to look at my armpits I realized I had terrible redness or what looked like chemical burns. The only thing different in my routine was the deodorant. I stopped using it immediately but the burns did not go away until after a few months (did not wear any deodorants for the time being.) I still wasn’t sure if it had been that specific deodorant, especially since the symptoms didn’t go away immediately, so after my skin recovered I decided to give it another chance. My armpits immediately became itchy and inflamed again. It’s definitely this product, don’t recommend to anyone!

      I've used 2 different scents and had painful rashes form on my arm pits. I've used old spice for 20 years and have never had an issue until now. It sounds like this is a very common issue but there's still not enough evidence to support the class action lawsuit?

      My 15 yr son liked a certain deodorant the Swagger one. I got a similar one on Amazon and gave him chemical burn under both armpits. My fiance 5yrs ago use the solid stick and same thing? How are they in business? I mean seriously!

      Over the last 3-4 years, well over 50% of the spray bottles I have bought fail prior to discharging all of the spray. They work initially and after a few uses, fail to dispense. It's frustrating because I like the smell of Swagger and Dragonblast; however, it's not worth it for 3-4 uses. It seems like they must get this complaint because I stopped buying after a while and started buying again when I saw a new design. This design also has issues but it's with the locking mechanism. Seriously, every other body spray manufacturer can get it, why can’t Old Spice. I am not sure how their engineers have jobs.

      As per Amazon 73% of people gave this product that Old Spice no longer makes a favorable review yet Old Spice refuses to make this available online on their website or on Amazon. Yet they continue to make other Old Spice Deodorants that are the subject of Class Action lawsuits related to burning and rashes. Why is that? Why isn't the product that I like not being made available online?

      The other interesting thing is Old Spice was sued in a class action over the existing deodorants still on the shelf at many stores. Yet they stopped making the deodorant that nobody was suing them over. WHY IS THAT!!! THAT MAKES ZERO SENSE!!!

      For the last few days, I started using my fiancé’s deodorant. I realized yesterday, I had redness and burned marks under both armpits. After talking with my friend, she said the same thing happened to her using old spice and so did my coworker. I then googled and found out there was a lawsuit filed in 2015. My armpits are on fire. I have pictures to prove it!

      Just like everyone else, this deodorant gave me chemical burns on my underarms, which have swollen to painful boils. I’ve been using it for years, but it just recently started happening. I have no idea how to treat it. Is this even legal?

      Old Spices’ gel deodorant burned my daughter’s underarm. I wouldn’t recommend using their products! Again, she used the gel deodorant. It was entirely too strong for her underarms. I used the gel also and it was sore from this product as well. This product is not a safe product to use based on our experience!

      Got some Old Spice deodorant. Always liked its other products over the last 40 years. Used the deodorant and found it caused a great deal of pain and chemical burns in my armpits. Left marks & scabs. I also have some mobility issues on both arms now as well. Harder to reach behind me for some reason.

      I have puss filled boils or cysts under both armpits and it was from the Old Spice Fiji deodorant. The white one not clear one. They hurt very badly until they pop on their own which they do but they come right back. Nothing works. I tried all the treatments I got offline and still nothing works.

      I used my husband's deodorant for a few days and ended up with second degree chemical burns under my arms. I can not believe Old Spice is still allowed to sell this **! It will probably scar. I have been in excruciating pain for the last 4 days now and still have a while to recover. ** you Old Spice!

      My son got horrible rashes from Old Spice deodorants. We put a claim online and what did they do? They sent us coupons for free Old Spice products. What? So silly me, thinking the “Gentle” man's deodorant that is now on store shelves would be safe…nope! Worse rash than before. Unbelievable. How about Old Spice giving me my money back, or paying for the products I had to purchase to help my son's painful rash. The pain and unnecessary suffering my 16 year old son is going through is horrible. Shame on you!!!

      My son has massive red burns under each armpit. I couldn’t figure out what it was and took him to the dr who prescribed him a topical steroid. It only got worse and even more painful. He can’t play sports because the friction hurts too bad. He mentioned it to his friends and someone mentioned the chemical burn so I did some research. It’s painful not itchy, def at least 2-3rd degree burns. He’s been using Old Spice for over a year without issues...clearly they distributed a bad batch. I can’t believe this stuff is still on shelves!

      I normally use women's deodorant, but I decided to give Old Spice a try. (I loved the scent). So after my nightly routine, I applied the deodorant. When I awoke the following morning I had a severe burning sensation under my right arm. I got up, looked in the mirror and noticed a massive chemical burn was starting to form. It's been 4 days now and I'm seeing no signs of improvement, antibiotics, cream, agony, tears. I've never experienced something so terribly painful in my life. Needless to say after doing some research and finding out others have experienced the exact same thing, I'm not too happy with Old Spice.
