The Food and Drug Administration has recalled two kinds of deodorants after concerns were raised about a cancer-causing chemical found inside the cans. HRB Brands is recalling four types of Brut deodorant sprays and two types of Sure antiperspirant sprays.
Officials are concerned about the presence of the chemical benzene. It is not an ingredient in the products but unexpected levels of cancer-causing substance were discovered in the propellant used for the spray cans.
