An Old Spice lawsuit accuses manufacturer Procter & Gamble of ignoring hundreds or thousands of reports of deodorant rash associated with some of its products.
The litigation started with an Old Spice lawsuit filed in a federal court in Ohio by plaintiff Rodney Colley of Virginia, who is seeking to represent a class of Old Spice consumers who experienced similar reactions to the deodorant products.

Colley claims that after only a few uses of Old Spice deodorant, he developed “severe rashes, burning and discomfort” that caused him to immediately stop using the product. Photographs of Colley included with his Old Spice lawsuit show a clearly visible dark discoloration underneath his arms.
Colley says he’s not the only one who’s come down with this condition. He believes that “hundreds, if not thousands” of Old Spice customers have been affected by these burns.
He cites complaints lodged by numerous consumers in online forums and social media outlets, consumers who say their Old Spice use causes far more skin problems than they reasonably expected.
In a review on Consumer Affairs, one woman says she has to put burn cream on the rash to stop the pain. She says it’s painful to put her arm down, and she can no longer wear shirts with sleeves.
Based on these numerous reports, Colley argues that Procter & Gamble should have acknowledged the problem and addressed it properly. Instead, he says, the company is simply withholding information about deodorant rash so that it can “continue selling the product and reaping windfall profits.”
Colley is seeking at least $25,000 in damages for himself and each other class member who developed a similar skin condition. He projects the total damage award will exceed $5 million.
In addition to the alleged pain and injury, he claims, users of these products are also economically harmed by not receiving the product they thought they were buying.
Second Old Spice Lawsuit Begins in California
Not long after Colley’s claim got underway, a California man filed his own Old Spice class action lawsuit. In this case, plaintiff Gregory Johnson is raising claims under several California laws like the Unfair Competition Law and the Consumer Legal Remedies Act.
Johnson faults Procter & Gamble for failing to address the reports of deodorant rash properly, either with a product recall or an investigation into what’s causing these skin reactions. He says the company has failed in its duty to warn consumers about the risk of rash associated with these products.
Procter & Gamble insists their deodorant is safe to use. A spokesperson says that a small number of users may develop irritation due to what he calls alcohol sensitivity.
There are over a dozen different specific kinds of Old Spice deodorant that have already been implicated in the Old Spice lawsuit, but the products at issue aren’t limited to that list. Any Old Spice deodorant could be the subject of a legal claim.
Attorneys are now interested in talking to persons who developed a rash, chemical burn, or similar condition after using Old Spice deodorant. Such persons may be eligible to join the Old Spice lawsuit with a legal claim of their own.
Obtaining the help of a personal injury lawyer may help you obtain money damages for the pain and suffering caused by injuries from Old Spice deodorant products.
The Old Spice Deodorant Rash Class Action Lawsuits are Gregory Johnson V. Procter & Gamble, Case No. 3:16-cv-02302 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California and Colley. v. Procter & Gamble Co., Case No. 2:16-cv-00225-MHW-KAJ, in the U.S. District Court of Southern Ohio.

I’ve had many sleepless nights and lots of discomforts because of the burning/rash from using old spice deodorant three weeks ago. After a trip to the urgent care and what they prescribed me, didn’t do anything with it. I also tried few home remedies after researching online, this thing won’t go away. I have pictures and proof of my claim and I just want to know more information on how to join the lawsuit. Thanks
I am hoping there is a claim still open again P&G / Old Spice deodorants… I recently went thru two to three weeks of second degree chemical burns after one time use of Fiji deodorant. Trip to the ER, treatments, meds, missed work, pain, and now left with discoloration after the healing process. This ishould something that should have been warned against. This is not some mere minorganic irritation for the minority few, these are second degree chemical burns! I really feel like I need vindication for this and to help the next unassuming victim to think twice and let them make the decision knowing allllll the info. Please help with any available info… please?
I have developed a bad rash in my armpit from using Old Spice deodorant. How do I find out about what is going on with the class action lawsuit?
My armpit is oozing and weeping and I cannot lift my arm without feeling like I am ripping my skin apart. This is a disgrace and I believe I will be left with severe redness and scarring. Nothing I am doing is helping clear it and I have been 4 days in agony now.

My son received the Old Spice Bag and Old Spice Pure Sport Deodorant for Christmas 2017 and poor guy is going through the worst pain in his life. Cant sleep, cant put his arms down. Just getting back from Urgent Care..it is a chemical burn with sores and infection..why do they sell this product that does this harm. I am worried about permanent scares.. Shame on them. He is a young active football athlete worried about his arms. I am very upset with worry.

Thank you
My son has used the Old Spice Deod and has experienced severe burns on armpit area and around where the deodorant touched the skin. He has photos.
I have the rashes right now and they itch but no way I could afford a lawyer lol.

I have been using this stuff for years. Sometimes the burns and pain happen so I will take a day off from using it. Never thought of a lawsuit. If it hurts your baby skin stop using it. Go to work you cry babies. Stop trying to get something for nothing.
Roberta, sweetheart, honey, now do you really know what you’re talking about? Or, is Princess really just running her mouth because she’s just an attention seeking schoolgirl? Do you really think those involved are involved because they are experiencing things like your tampon ready “burns and pain” you little twit? Since you were so willing to give out free advice, let me return the favor. Stop talking, about, things, you, know, nothing, about! I know it’ll be quiet around you for a bit but trust me…after about a week you will start seeing the benefits of not having to listen to your own stupidity. Can’t hurt to try, right? Anyway Darling, get back to that job…oh, I almost forgot to congratulate you on getting your first training bra! You’re a big girl now!
I have severe burns under my arms (skin peeling off, blisters, rediness and immense pain) from using old spice deodorant just one night. I have pictures and would like to join the lawsuit. Please let me know how to get involved.

My armpits are burning and my skin is red after using old spice! How do I file or join???
My husband has the exact same burn/irritation marks around his left armpit. We originally thought it was chafing, but the severity is consistent with what I would think to be a chemical burn.
How do we file?
