  • Who: TikTok users @sexclexie7 and @airwinxo each went viral after posting videos showing chemical burns on their underarms. 
  • Why: The TikTok users claimed the chemical burns were caused by using Old Spice deodorants.
  • Where: The videos have been seen by TikTok users around the world.

Tiktok @sexclexie7A pair of TikTok users have gone viral after claiming in videos posted to the platform that Old Spice deodorant left them with chemical burns in their armpits.

The first video, posted by TikTok user @sexclexie7, is captioned “Where can I sue?” and has amassed over 2.5 million views. 

A woman identified on TikTok as Lexie Fullerton lifts up her arm in the video to reveal what appears to be chemical burns on the inside of her armpit. 

The video is overlain with text saying “Who else has been personally victimized by Old Spice deodorant???” and “I literally have chemical burns.”

Another TikTok user, named @airwinxo, stitched Lexie’s video with one of her own in which she lifted up her arm to reveal a chemical burn she claims to have gotten after using Old Spice deodorant, as well. 

The user, identified on TikTok as Erin, overlaid the video, which has amassed more than 7 million views so far, with text reading “GIRL WHATTTTT.” The video was captioned with “I thought I had EXCEMA.”

Old Spice Faces Claims Deodorant Sprays Contain Benzene

While no class action lawsuit is currently accusing Old Spice deodorant of causing chemical burns, Procter & Gamble has been under fire recently over a pair of claims it sold Old Spice antiperspirant and deodorant sprays contaminated with the cancer-causing chemical benzene

The complaints, filed in January by two separate consumers, allege P&G falsely marketed its Old Spice antiperspirant and deodorant sprays as safe and effective for consumers since they, in reality, were contaminated with benzene. 

The benzene contamination came to light following a study released in May of last year by Valisure, an independent analytical pharmacy.

The Valisure study revealed the presence of benzene in a number of different cosmetic, health care and aerosol products, including Old Spice antiperspirant and deodorant sprays manufactured and sold by P&G. 

Exposure to benzene can cause a variety of adverse health effects in humans, including blood cancers and conditions such as anemia and leukemia, according to the pair of class action lawsuits. 

Benzene contamination also caused P&G to recall 32 different dry shampoo and conditioner products in February, including brands such as Pantene, Herbal Essences and Old Spice, among others. 

Claims that Old Spice deodorant can cause chemical burns are not new, meanwhile, with a class action lawsuit lobbying the accusation against P&G back in 2016. 

In that complaint, a New York consumer claimed 13 different Old Spice deodorants caused a number of consumers to suffer chemical burns due to the products allegedly being defectively manufactured by P&G. 

The class action lawsuit would ultimately claim over 100 consumers had been injured by the Old Spice deodorants by experiencing chemical burns in their armpits.
