Mitchum Deodorant Injuries Compensation Claims

We've been featured in:

Consumers have reported Mitchum deodorant injuries, including rashes and weeping wounds. The manufacturer has confirmed that certain batches of their Mitchum 48-hour Roll-On Antiperspirant and Deodorant have been affected and have recalled the products. The defect was caused by a change in the manufacturing process affecting a raw material.

Persons who have experienced burns, rashes, discolouration or scarring from using affected batches of the antiperspirant deodorant could be entitled to compensation for the harm caused by these defective products. As we will examine, consumers have the right to safe products that work as advertised and are fit for purpose. When these standards are not upheld and consumers suffer injuries, manufacturers can be held liable for these product faults.

Connecting the dots between a faulty product and your injuries is at the heart of the claims process, and Legal Expert know this type of claim inside and out. We have several years of experience in winning big for our clients and can offer a tailored package of services and support mechanisms, ensuring you have everything you need to seek compensation for the injuries caused.

Why Are Mitchum Deodorant Products Being Recalled?

Multiple lines of Mitchum deodorant products are being recalled following a safety report in October 2025, where multiple Mitchum Deodorant products were listed as hazardous to health. Several customers across the UK and Ireland, as well as South Africa, reported itching, burning and other skin irritations after using the products. In some severe cases, customers have reported permanent scars from using these deodorants.

Mitchum reported that the problems arose not from any changes to the deodorant formula, but from a specific change in the manufacturing process of one of the raw materials used in the products. They have since switched back to the original processing and have removed the affected batches from retail shelves. 

What Batches Of Mitchum Roll-On Deodorant Are Being Recalled?

The recalled batches are a number of 100ml roll-on deodorants from both the men’s and women’s ranges. The Office for Product Safety and Standards report on the recall specifies the following Mitchum products as affected:

  • Mitchum Women’s Roll on 100ml Powder Fresh, Unscented, Pure Fresh and Flower Fresh.
  • Mitchum Men’s Roll on 100ml Ice Fresh, Clean Control and Sport.

If you have experienced harm after using any of the above products, please get in touch with us and find out if you could claim today

My Legal Rights After Being Injured By Mitchum Deodorant

As a consumer, you have certain legal rights after being injured by Mitchum deodorant or any other defective product. Essentially, UK legislation gives you the right to products that are safe for use, not faulty and that work as advertised. If this is not the case, and harm is caused, then you could be eligible for compensation.

The two relevant laws are:

  • The Consumer Rights Act 2015: all goods must be both safe for intended use and of satisfactory quality to a reasonable person. What amounts to reasonable can vary depending on the product, but for a roll-on deodorant, a reasonable person would expect the deodorant to be safe for use on skin.
  • The Consumer Protection Act 1987: The strict liability established by this law means you don’t have to show that there was negligence on the part of the manufacturer. You only need to demonstrate that the product was faulty and that you were harmed.

To make further inquiries regarding your rights after sustaining any Mitchum deodorant injuries, get in touch with our advisory team today.

How To Find Out If I Have A Faulty Mitchum Roll-On Deodorant Batch

You can find the relevant batch numbers in the government report on the product recall. We should point out that the problems stem from a specific batch of products, not every deodorant in the fragrance ranges provided above. You can find the batch codes on the individual rollers at the base of the bottle.

The Injuries Caused By The Defective Deodorant

Consumers who used the affected batches have reported a range of injuries, from mild irritation to serious blistering and marking. Other reported injuries include:

  • Changes in skin colour, with areas of use noticeably redder or otherwise discoloured.
  • Burning sensations and itching.
  • Raised rashes, bumpy and uneven skin.
  • Serious permanent scarring in the most extreme cases.

You personally may have experienced other injuries, so do not hesitate to reach out to our team to learn more about claiming for that particular harm today.

How To Make A Compensation Claim Against Mitchum Deodorant

Two core factors to consider when making a compensation claim against Mitchum deodorant are gathering the right supporting evidence and sticking to the relevant time limit. These important steps have been outlined under the headings below, but more personalised guidance can be sought from our advisors.

What Evidence Do I Need To Bring A Claim Against Mitchum?

The evidence you will need to bring a personal injury claim against Mitchum needs to demonstrate that you purchased one of the defective roll-ons (batch number) and that you sustained some form of injury (medical records) from using it. We have summarised all the proof you will need here:

  • Keep the individual roller bottle, as well as any other packaging. Make a note of the batch number, found at the bottom of the bottle.
  • Photograph the affected area of skin, dating the photographs to track the progression of any injuries.
  • Contact your GP and get medical help. This is not only for your own well-being, but also you can request a copy of your medical records for use as evidence.
  • A diary noting down what symptoms you experienced, when they first appeared and the impacts on your daily life is a great way of showing your side of the story. Record any treatments you undergo and the effects of these as well.

How Long Do I Have To Make A Mitchum Injury Claim?

Exceptions can however, be applicable in some cases so it’s important to consult a solicitor for appropriate legal advice and check that any claim is filed within the appropriate time limit. Our advisors can put you through to one of our expert solicitors if you have a valid claim so contact our team today.
