On December 17, 2021, the Procter & Gamble Company issued a recall of several aerosol dry-conditioner and dry-shampoo spray products were recalled due to the presence of Benzene. The recall affects popular brands such as Aussie, Pantene, Herbal Essences, Old Spice, Waterless, and Hair Food aerosol spray products.
