Procter & Gamble
Reviews and Complaints

P & G recently raised the price of Bounty. They also took the deceptive step of reducing the amount of product in each package, effectively raising the price even higher. Maybe it's my imagination, but the paper itself doesn't seem as thick as it had been.
We will be directing our buyers to refrain from ordering this product. We have also started reevaluating other P&G products we had used.
To add insult to injury, P&G's Bounty website's Contact feature has not been functional for weeks.

I have used duracell for a lot of years, but lately, I'm finding many of my remote controls, thermostats, flashlights thermo-pens, cameras, walkie-talkies, childrens toys, and several battery operated devices growing white fuzz on the negative end of the batteries, and on the connection with the batteries.

I'm fed-up with Duracell. It used to be a quality product, but not anymore.

I'm switching to total rechargeables from now on. More economical than leaky duracells any day of the week

I purchased a large 2.56lb tub of Cascade Complete 12x power dishwashing tablets from Walmart and upon returning home with my product upon opening more than 75% were all stuck together. I had to cut each and every one free during which I lost about 25% of those due to the packet opening and spilling. I am not sure if this was your packaging fault or something that happened in transit. I just wanted to let you know about this. My name is:

I recently bought an 885ml bottle of Flash cotton fresh multi-surface concentrate. It would seem that the valve controlling the flow is faulty. It does not automatically stop after squeezing to deliver a dose but continues running. If turned upside down with the cap on, it leaks. It fell over in my cleaning box and leaked all over.

I have used this product before, albeit a smaller size bottle, and was very pleased with it. I have really wasted my money in this instance.

It would not be possible to post this back to you, but a refund would be appreciated.

Your Gillette ad concerning toxic masculinity is offensive to men of all ages. The next time a beach needs to be stormed, or a woman is being raped by some animal, you'd better hope there's a competitive male somewhere to be found. You can take your product and stuff it. My family will never have another Proctor & Gamble product in this house. You should be ashamed.

Poor Quality Control in rolling and cutting rolls:
Been using this only brand for decades . Last few months the sheets, about an inch from center, are wrinkled and when unrolled the edges are jagged. Thought it was a fluke, but continues to be so package after package.
Don't want to have to change brands, but I can't help thinking if quality in manufacturing is not being monitored, how can I be assured of sanitary standards as well.

Your commercial on Toxic White Masculinity is reprehensible and not fit for public consumption. Your prejudgment of the white male community is small minded and discriminating. I am a white female whose spouse is a white immigrant male, and we are raising our son to be respectful of all people regardless of race, gender, religion, and sexual affiliation. We have barbecues and my husband and our male friends do not cat-call at women. My husband holds doors open for ladies and says "yes ma'am" when addressed by a woman.

How did this commercial get past your advertising team, your board members, and you ceo? I just cannot understand how such ignorance could have have gone unnoticed.

I have shared this video clip with every male and female in my social circle. There are no mixed reviews, they are all unanimously disgusted. I will be discarding all of my family's P&G products tomorrow and shopping for replacements.

I am very disappointed in your recent Gillette ad. It uses all the worst stereotypes of men to reinforce the false narrative that masculinity is in and of itself toxic. Not only will my family not be purchasing Gillette razors from now on, but we will not be purchasing any products from your company. Calling us all, both men and women, to be the best that we can be is a lofty goal, but this ad falls far short of inspiring any of us to reach for the best.

Why would P&G intentionally offend so many of its customers? I find the recent Gillette ad campaign that clearly targets white men as "hostile to women" as blatant bigotry.

I've been a life long customer and fan of P&G, but now will activity look to avoid your product(s). All product categories.

If the goal of this ad was to alert me to how little you care about my loyalty- P&G has achieved its goal.

The recent ad on "toxic masculinity" from Gillette is an abomination. The ad is insulting to both men and women and is a horrible representation of what has otherwise been a good company that provides useful products. The racism shown in that ad by depicting only white males as wrong-doers is utterly disgusting and is racism at its very worst as a sly and subliminal accusation and conviction of white males as the enemy and abusers. How dare you push this kind of "social justice" junk on your customers. If this is really who Proctor and Gamble is as a company, I'm done with your company and your products. Racism runs all directions and this ad is a horrible example of that. Discrimination against women was wrong, it is history, and discrimination is still wrong today. And in case you couldn't figure it out, discriminating against men at this point in time, is nothing more than a child's temper tantrum. A "tit for tat" revenge ploy by the most ignorant and immature among our population. Pull the ad! I have always found your products useful. But I will NOT support your company with my dollars if you allow this kind of discriminatory advertising to perpetuate. Shame on you all!

I received what I believed to be a brand new Oral-B electric toothbrush on Christmas morning 12/25/2018. When I removed the safety seal, I discovered it was missing the head, it appeared to be used and was filthy, and last it wasn't even the toothbrush that was on the box. The toothbrush was purchased at Wal-Mart, 1900 Maplewood Commons Dr., Maplewood, MO 63143 on 12/22/18 at 22:25:41. The box was untouched, unopened and not damaged at all. It looks as if someone in the manufacturing warehouse had an old toothbrush, a Braun Type #4729, and replaced that used Braun for the Oral-B Pro 1500 that was supposed to be in the box that was being purchased for myself. I was disgusted and appalled! I want a refund of the money spent for the deception, I want the toothbrush that was assumed to have been purchased and other resolutions I cannot put into words. I think it is horrible that this was able to happen by such a big company. I can only imagine how many other times this has happened. I will also be reporting this to incident to other State and Federal authorities. I have attached 22 pictures and videos, some pictures you will need to zoom in on to see little details, such as the type number on the Braun toothbrush.

I love my sweeper. I am on my 3rd one. They usually last about 18 months. The updated one has the off and on button on handle. Not a good idea because my hand slides down and shut it off several times when I am sweeping. Not a big deal but an aggravation. Better if you put it back on base.

This item was purchased from Walmart on October 18, 2018 for $29.86 plus tax.

I have used it every day and not it just quit working. I have cleaned it, changed plugs and always used clean water but it will not heat and will not throw mist. It is not even 2 months old I need this because both of us suffer from sinus infections and dry heat. We are both 80 years old and need this item. What can you do? I do not believe Walmart will replace because it is more than 30 days.

Been purchasing bounty for years. Then started purchasing the bulk size, half sheets, huge package. Pay near $20.00 each, $40/month (480.00/year) If this is multiplied by thousands or millions of other disappointed customers...

These sheets are getting worse and worse. These sheets don't even dry my sink vanity! I have to repeat daily with napkins or toilet paper. It doesn't soak up, it's too rough! Non-absorbent! Waste of money. Rip off!

And other complaint is correct, it leaves lint on mirrors, dishes, glasses, anything glass. (Takes you five minutes rubbing to dry and flipping around paper towel in various directions to get it to dry just one item. So to dry all your dishes etc., it will take you over four hours).

Using the last of my package and that's it for me. Unless there are changes made. Only good for one thing, picking up insects after you kill them. 🐞 🕷 🐜 🐛. If you have lots of bugs, this is the paper towel for you😁.

Miss the original formula of bounty. Hope it was worth it. Losing all your old faithful customers .

Over the past few years, I have had to discard several flashlights and other items damaged by leaking Duracell batteries. This time, its a vcr remote and is costly to replace and not to mention the terrible inconvenience of having to manually change the vcr functions. I would like to have this remote repaired or replaced. Please advise what I should do and what additional information you need to settle this matter ASAP.

I installed a Febreze CLip-on auto air freshener. About (10) days later it leaked and did damage to the dash trim around the radio, CD, air vent. I contacted P&G and they sent me a complaint questionnaire, which if completed they said they will consider, review your claim. The catch is you need to have the Febreze Clip-on AND the original packaging. I spent the time to fill out the questionnaire, take/send (12) pictures, acquire (2) damage estimates (Nissan's quote was over $3, 000) and explained I thought it was unreasonable expectation for a consumer to have the packaging for a $5.00 air freshener for over a week after purchase, PLUS save an air freshener that was leaking on your hand and just damaged the dash board of a new car…The P&G response boils down to thanks for filling out the form, but without the clip-on and packaging we cannot "evaluate the merits of your claim." In other words by requiring the packaging and clip-on they can skirt the fast majority of claims.

I want to warn everyone to stay away from Duracell batteries. I have been using Duracell batteries for years and in the past I have been very pleased with the batteries, but not anymore. We have been buying our batteries from Walmart and recently I found the batteries in my Samsung TV, I want to warn everyone to stay away from Duracell batteries. I have been using Duracell batteries for years and in the past I have been very pleased with the batteries, but not anymore. We have been buying our batteries from Walmart and recently I found that my Samsung TV controller was fill with batteries acid., I bought and new 8 pack of AA's and put one in a clock, it went died in 3 weeks and then I put two in a flashlight and went to use it 2 weeks later the batteries were died. In the past I was a Maintenance Supervisor and would order and use 100 of them a year they were the best they lasted forever.

Bought a 24 pack of Duracell AA batteries, from Wal-Mart. Installed In 3 different cameras. After one week all the batteries failed. I did not have leaking, but it just seemed to be a bad batch. Usually the batteries last about one year in these same 3 cameras. I tested the batteries in other products. Batteries had no power. I would like to be reimbursed.

Hi I am writing to you as I am very disappointed in this product. I bought the bumper pack with 1a razor and blades (10 I think)for my boyfriend and the blades are awful. The blue strip disappears after 1 underarm use (I used a blade) and the blade itself does not provide a close shave. I then asked my boyfriend what he thought of them and he confirmed it also that the blades where just not as good as they used to be. He was finding he had 4 o clock shadow at 11 am. After speaking to my mum about it she also advised that my dad had the same issue with the bumper pack blades and ended up buying the Gillette turbo individual and found these where much better, Are the sub standard razors being used for the bumper packs? These are not cheap and feel that there is something going on as 3 people cant be wrong from the same family.

Hi folks

I too have had problems with leaking and exploding batteries. This latest incident occurred shortly after placing new batteries ( purchased from Costco) in my Bushnell Scout camera. I started hearing pops and fizzes. I had the camera on my passenger seat and was preparing to set camera up. Looked towards camera and saw liquid coming out of batteries as they continued to pop. I was in my truck, and in closed area - could inhaling this leakage cause health issues?

These batteries came out of a new, unopened package - I believe a 40 pack.

I immediately called Duracel and filed a claim. I was instructed to place each battery in its own zip lock sandwich bag. And to Send my ruined camera, along with defective and leaking batteries to Duracell. I warned to return the remainder of the 40 pack but was told it was not necessary.

Yesterday, I received a letter from Duracell offering $110.00 for my camera that I paid $199.00. They did not offer to refund my money for the batteries or provide free replacement batteries.

I called them and spoke to a supervisor. I ask why am I, the consumer responsible for their defective products?

I had a similar problem a year ago or so. In that instance, I opened a camera and found leaking batteries.

All of the batteries with issues came from Costco. All of my batteries are stored in a cabinet in my laundry room.

So, they sell us a defective product and require us, the consumers to handle these leaking batteries, possibly putting our health a risk.

Maybe it's time for a class action lawsuit. I'm in, sign me up.
