The recall also includes some products from its Aussie and Waterloo region.
The consumer goods giant said certain aerosol dry conditioners and shampoos from the brands as well as some discontinued items from Old Spice and Hair Food brands, had a human carcinogen called benzene.
The brand had earlier recalled Old Spice and Secret due to suspected presence of benzene. P&G also went ahead in asking retailers in the United States and Canada to remove Old Spice and Secret deodorants from their shelves.
Exposure to benzene can occur by inhalation, orally and through the skin. It can result in cancers including leukemia, blood cancer of the bone marrow and blood disorders which can be life-threatening, P&G said.
P&G added it had not received any reports of adverse events related to the recall. The company had distributed the products in the United States through retail outlets and online mediums.
Earlier this year, U.S. pharmacy chains pulled Johnson & Johnson’s sunscreen products off their shelves after J&J said it had detected benzene in some samples.
