Reviews and Complaints

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.

I started using your old spice fresh high endurance, because I an Military and very active. I quickly started to notice it is somehow pulling the skin from my armpits as in a burning almost causing it to peel, I can send pictures if needed. I'm not sure if its a bad batch or the brand. I sent pictures to show some of the burn and peeled skin, the product should checked. 7-29-18

I had documented hospital visit to match...[protected]@gmail.com message me ...f**k them it's ridiculous

On June 26/18 my wife went to Thriftway Drugs in Lethbridge @ 702-13th. street north T1H2T1 [protected]) to look for some deals.
She bought Olay Eyes @29.99 which was a discounted price.
Next day she applied and there was no apparent change to her eyes puffiness. she applied again but not much change. It was claiming instant eye bags out.
On the third day she found out there was no liquid (drops) coming out.
We went to Thriftway Drugs for money back. Their reply was contact the company.
What can you do to help?

June 4, 2018 my wireless keyboard stopped working and I discovered the batteries in had totally failed - they are covered with a salty-like compound which is all over the batteries as well as the battery compartment. I tried cleaning the compartment and putting in new batteries but it still won't work. The expiration date is 2022! How can this be?

I had these clips in my car and just today noticed they leaked and ruined underneath my vent area. Now upon further research I see they have known about this issue and have done nothing to fix it. I sure hope some type of resolution is offered to consumers because this made a horrible looking spot that peeled all the black off of my lexus interior under where my vents are.

About a $30 bag of Pampers I bought them it was a waste of my time and money I'm very disappointed with the company. I have to buy them often my kid soak them up in 3 days. Pooped everywhere I'm not sure why I have to make a long complaint when I really have not that much to say the problem is about a $30 box of Pampers Pampers sucked my son was pissy all night long all throughout the day [censored] on himself often leak through the Pampers it was a waste of money the Pampers were to last a week or so they lasted 3 to 4 days

I have been a longtime customer of Duracell, but after three ruined appliances in less than a year due to leaking Coppertop Duracell batteries, I am switching. All of these leaked 5-6 years before the end date printed on them; this hasn't been a problem for 20+ years prior, so I must conclude they have cheapened the product. The cost to replace the damaged goods far exceeds the cost of the battery, so I'm researching battery ratings to find one that will provide the quality Duracell used to put in theirs. Goodbye Duracell.

Have purchased 2 of these products and after just a few uses one side stops ejecting cleaner. With one side working only this takes twice as long to get the job done. I purchased a second one because I liked the job that the product does but I am not happy with he quality of the product. Especially having the same problem out of the second one. Change batteries on both to no avail.

I placed an order for a drone on tomtop and was successful by doing so and the money was deducted by my credit card. The shipping method was by priority shipping which displayed 3 to 6 days for shipping the item. But the status of the item is just been shown as processing and since then not a single informations about the item and non on the customer service team is tempting to my mails! Please help me get my hard earned money!

Duracell Leaking Batteries!
What's going on with Duracell?
Over the last 2 or 3 years they have gone from the best to the absolute worst batteries you can purchase.
I just lost three pieces of equipment because of Duracell Batteries leakage, with a cost of more than $500 to me.
I used to purchase my Duracell Batteries from Costco in large quantises, not anymore.
I found brand new Duracell Batteries still in the package and never used with more than two years left before the expiry date and the Duracell Batteries stated to leak already.
As I can see on the Internet there are many, many other very unhappy Duracell customers out there with the same experience I am having.
Duracell had proven to me that they know how to produce an excellent Battery but have chosen to stick it to us and sell garbage to their trusting customers.
I also will forward this complaint to Costco's Customer Service.
If Costco is aware of a problem with a produce they are selling and not doing anything about it then they also should be held responsible for our (the Customers) losses.

Not what it used to be
I've used bounty towels for many years. The towels I purchased recently are noticeably different and inferior to the last package. I even compared two sheets side by side, one from the older package and one from the newer. The newer ones are thinner, less absorbent, rougher. You have ruined a very good product.
I have complained to proctor & gamble several times in the last few months and they just offer coupons. Also they will not admit to the inferior change. The money wouldn't be an issue if the paper towels remained the same as in the past.
What can we do to correct this?

Got some new aa batteries out and before i could put them in a thermostate 1 of them squirted me in the eye and burned the outside of my eyelid and got alittle in my eye luckly i can still see out of it and continue to work

Very unhappy

I bought four of these rechargeable batteries for my Cannon Camera after about 3 months they needed to be recharged, these batteries will not charge over 1 volt, I've tried two different charges to no avail. These batteries cost over $20.00 dollars and I feel that I've been ripped off. 1.2v/2500MAh made in Japan, [protected], 40148574RG This is all the information that I have on the batteries would like replacement or money back. Would like feed back.

Thank You

Beware Chinese made Duracell AA batteries.
I've always purchased Duracell AA batteries through Costco. Many of the last batch have leaked in a variety of my remote controls. Recently I've found leaking in batteries in at least 4. I'm throwing all of them away and replacing them with other batteries not made in China. I used to trust Duracell but no longer. I see on the P&G website that others are complaining of the same problem.

I put a Febreze car vent air freshener in my car on Sunday. The smell was overwhelmingly chemical (supposed to be fresh linen), so I removed it on Monday, only to find that it had melted the area all around the vent knob, permanently damaging the interior of my car.

I purchased 2 packages of Duracell size D batteries for my radio. After using the radio for a couple hours I brought it into the house and put it on the dining room table. About 20 minutes later my wife noticed 2 puddles of a black substance. Thinking it was oil I grabbed the radio and took it outside. I opened the back and opened the battery compartment. There was liquid all over the batteries. I took them out not even thinking the battery could be leaking. The radio no longer works, I burned my wrist and the table top is ruined. Please see the enclosed pictures.

Dear Mahmoud,

The bottoms of our cans have a special plastic coating to make them rust resistant, but they are not rust-proof. The can will rust over time if it is stored in a damp or moist place (for example, on the side of a basin or in the shower.
Try wiping the bottom of the can dry after use and store it in a dry place.

Yours sincerely

P & G vanity and falsely claim (from P & G web site):-
Our safety process
Our four-step, science-based process ensures both your safety and the safety of our products before they go to market.
Avoid certain ingredients
As part of the first step, our safety process screens out new ingredients that pose a relevant hazard in a consumer product.

Step 1: Doubt
The Foundation
We start with a healthy dose of skepticism concerning the safety of a new ingredient. If we can’t establish both its safety and benefit to consumers, we won’t use it.
Step 2: Define
Safe Range
We define the safe range for every ingredient we use with the same scientific process used by the major regulatory agencies around the world (FDA, EPA, WHO, EU, etc.). If there is not enough information to establish a safe range, we will remove the ingredient from consideration or investigate it further.
Step 3: Determine
Safe Product Use
We evaluate all ingredients in the final product to confirm their actual use is in the safe range for both consumers and the environment. If we can’t conclude the product formula is safe, we will either reformulate or decide not to market the product. We have more than 700 scientists and professionals who ensure our products meet all safety and regulatory requirements around the world.
Step 4: Diligence
Monitor Use and New Information
Once a product is marketed, we monitor consumer use and investigate all new scientific information. We also collaborate with external scientists and regulatory agencies on new and updated safety

Really disturbed to learn that my complaint has appeared on here more than once and for over 3 years... Evidently there is no intention of solving it, but here goes

I adore Winter Garden plug in so bulk bought the Air freshener spray (3 tins). I then bought a deal of 3 for the price of 2 'for my mum' but kept them... However ALL 6 have failed! The aerosol gives up after a couple of uses... I have never complained before but I am so out of pocket
