This is so stupid. People are idiots. If you have a reaction to something STOP USING IT MORONS!! Don’t ruin it for everyone that loves it. I used after hours for years and loved it. But guess what, there are other brands of soap on the market that don’t agree with my body... SO I DONT USE THEM. That’s a wild thought, I was allergic to something so I stopped using it. Crazy right?

i love how some were like oooh greedy people, I too had a reaction to the old spice deodorant, my underarms looked like donuts, sore and inflamed for almost a month. initially I thought it was a reaction to my environment at work, but then I stopped using the deo altogether and it went away, although it several weeks. it wasn't actually the antiperspirants causing the issue, it was the gel deodorants causing it, because that's all I used at the time, i switched to right guard and never had another problem.

I’ve used Old Spice for many years and never experienced any issues. Unfortunately, the company discontinued making the classic original antiperspirant that I love (white bottle red top). I hope they bring it back. For those of you with sensitive skin, I suggest you get another brand and stop winning about it. You should’ve read the warning on the label ( which all brands have). Stop trying to get money with your frivolous lawsuits, man-up and get another one that’s softer for you.

To all of whom used lionpride religiously - they did rebrand the same smell to krakengard (the octopus monster). Run out now and buy it!
To all of you sensitive a** half men complaining about old spice causing your skin to melt, go grab your moms dove and quit trying to kill the real men’s deo brand. Thx

I want my lionpride anti-perspirent back. Don't fold because some idiot wants to make a buck . All deodorant are basically the same just smell different. Old spice has been around for years. If it don't agree with your skin quit using it. Simple.

I've been using Old Spice Odor Blocker Deo Fresh for YEARS and never a problem. Also, it never burns my eyes. I always receive comments on the scent. This lawsuit is stupid. If a soap does not work for you, STOP USING IT. THERE ARE PLENTY OTHERS OUT THERE! I hope you loose this lawsuit big time. I want my Old Spice Odor blocker back!

Add Fresher Collection Timber Deodorant sold by Target in Nov.Dec 2017 to this list. Never had a reaction to any deodorant or antiperspirant in my life. Used this particular brand and armpits are flaming red, burning and very uncomfortable. This product needs to be recalled

My husband has been using Old Spice Deodorant for years, and has had a reaction, ONE time, to the Blue Solid Gel Deodorant. And guess what, he quit using it, and instead, starting using the invisible solid. I think that it is extremely amusing that we as the consumer only have issues with a product worth talking about when there is a form of possible money involved. We loved the After Hours scent, and now it has been discontinued thanks to people like you all. I guess if you eat something for the first time, and have an allergic reaction to it, that it would be okay to sue whomever made the product, because it wasn't written on the wrapper that you may have a reaction. It's a joke. Everyone has allergic reactions to things at some point in their lives. Perfumes and Dyes are in almost everything we come in contact with these days..... I would like to make the suggestion that if you have an allergic reaction to something... QUIT USING IT!!!!! Quit jumping on the Band Wagon here people.

It's amazing how many "injured" people come out of the wood work the instant a class action suit is announced. I have been using all of the products since they were first introduced with absolutely no problems. Has it ever occurred to those of you have have reactions to to this product and others, that you have an allergy to them? Is it the manufacturers problem that you are allergic to their products? And how would you recommend that P&G label it since anyone at any time could be allergic to anything? And, for this, you take this product away from the majority of product users who were happy. All for the almighty dollar. Sad what this country has come to. Very sad. Once more, because of the few who have allergies, you have confiscated my free will to purchase this product. Well, what goes around, comes around. You will receive back the Karma you have released. And, primarily for greed. Sad...

Is it possible for my son to be included in this action? He experienced burn like rashes on two separate occasions. The first time was after Christmas 2013 when he experienced a red raised rash after using Old Spice deodorant (it was the Classic scent) that subsided after he stopped using it.
The second time was in April, 2015 after receiving Old Spice Swagger deodorant as part of a birthday gift. On that occasion the rash looked more like a burn and was very painful. It ceased and gradually faded after he stopped using it but it took nearly a week to start healing.

I have used After Hours Old Spice consistently for a few years now and all of a sudden I too have experienced the chemical burn and rash everyone else have experienced. I filled out my information. I also called them and they are sending me $5 visa debit card to reimburse me for the deodorant. HAHA....yeah like that will help.

Used Old Spice Swagger Deodorant ( Red Zone Collection) 1 time because I was out of my normal deodorant on a Monday morning. By Monday night my armpits were on fire. It left armpits with a red rash and hurting where I had applied the deodorant. I am hoping it goes away on its own.

My husband had used Old Spice for years and has never had an issue. He switched when my son started using some other. Recently as my son no longer lives here my husband went back to Old Spice. About a month ago he started getting a rash. He stopped using and I put aloe ointment on and rash went away. He started using it again and it came back. We did this 4 times thinking at first it couldn't be Old spice. But now we know it was. There is something in there product that they have recently changed. So Sad he really liked it years back.
Please ad us to this claim
Thank you

My son ended up with a horrible oozing rash under his arm that was quite painful. We thought it was just a fluke. Then he saw something on Facebook about this class action lawsuit being filed. All of these people and Old Spice is saying that it's nothing?!?!? We've stopped buying their products. How many people need to suffer before you own up to this Old Spice?

Shame on Old Spice. That name was a household word when I was growing up. So I trusted buying it for my 16 year old grandson. Severe itching. burning etc. Aloe helped. I want to be part of this lawsuit. These products obviously not tested before unleashing on the consumer!

I've used old spice for awhile I don't know if it's a specific date or what but I have 2 sticks of the Fiji and the one that's almost out didn't effect me until I used the new stick and my arm pit was on fire this morning. I got my wife to look at it and she said some skin was peeling off like a sun burn. I don't know what to do, it itches like crazy and burns.

My husband has been using Old Spice for years and has never had an issue until recently. About 3 weeks ago he started getting a rash. He stopped using and put oilment on and rash went away. So he started using Old Spice again and it came back. There is something in there product that they have recently changed.

I received some Old Spice deodorant for Christmas as part of a gift set and the day I first used it I had itching and burning of my underarms so I stopped using it. A few weeks later I used it again with the same result so I threw it away and thought no more of it until I saw this post.

Wow my husband used this and after only his second day he came home thriving in pain and itching so bad he was going nuts, he said please help somethings wrong with my armpits so he took off his shirt, lifted his arm and I said "what the heck did you get into, you have some blisters with a purplish rash" and I took plenty of pics, He said I didn't do anything my armpits started hurting this morning and as the day went on it got worse, after I helped him calm down his armpits we discussed what it could be from and hmm the only thing we had gotten different was 2 days before he bought the OLD SPICE DEODORANT.
I said DO NOT put any more on and let's see if that stops it and hmm yep it stopped but we thought it was just him because we didn't hear of anyone else until now.
I have to say pretty sad !!!! All these men did was but deodorant, a basic necessity and it caused this!!! Makes a person wonder?

I used Old Spice several times but I bought a new scent and within 5 minutes of applying the deodorant my arm pits were on fire. The entire area, about 6 inch by 2 inch wide was extremely red and burning. I washed the area off but the pain continued for several hours, I had to miss work that day because was in pain and had to keep my arms in the air.

I used Old Spice Deodorant for several years. I suspected that something in the product was causing me to break out in a rash because every time i used it, this would happen. I would break out with watery blisters, skin red and peeling, highly itchy, and extremely painful to the touch. Nothing seemed to sooth the condition.
I personally think it might be the aluminumchlorhydrate they use in it, but I don't know. I do know that after I stopped using the product, that the painful rash eventually went away. Now I don't use anything except a mild soap and water when I shower. This product sucks and I am pissed off that they ever put it on the market!
How do I sign up for this class action lawsuit suit? Send me some information as soon as possible. These jerks need to pay for the problems they have caused at my expense...

This has been happening to me for the past year after using old spice deodorant. Who do I contact, as it has been causing an ongoing, burning, blistering rash in my armpits.I had the same issue and would get a horrible rash when I used the old spice high endurance deodorant. I would get a rash that would itch and burn severely. I quit using it and no longer get the rash. It took me quite a while to realize it was the deodorant because I had used old spice for years so I thought it was something else causing the rash. I finally decided to quit using the deodorant after I tried changing laundry soaps, almost got rid of my dogs, but once I stopped using the de and switched to new one the rash is gone

Just wanted to add my two cents here. Don't know if it's the best place, but I too have had terrible reactions to old spice. Only recently. I've used it my entire life and about a month ago I went to a new brand. Applied the pure sport deodorant and within five minutes all the skin on my under arm sloughed off. Stopped for a couple days because I figured it could've been poor hygiene or maybe attributed to heat rash. Put it on again and it did the exact same thing. If my statement helps, by all means contact me. But I did do what any smart person would do and just switched. Regardless, old spice needs to be made aware of this.
