Procter & Gamble - Stay away

I bought febreze air effects Spring & Renewal Air Refreshner Ambientador. It is not even half empty. First th can dribbled out. Then dripped out. Then air. And now nothing. I am very disappointed in this product. I liked this type beause it was quiet and they all smelled great. But this is a bad can.

Procter & Gamble I am very disappointed with this inferior product and the money I have wasted

I have used it about seven times and now it no longer will eject the cleaner onto the floor. I have changed the batteries three times. Each time the Swiffer still fails to work.

I am very disappointed with this inferior product and the money I have wasted.

I have tried several times to contact customer service on the internet, all to no avail.

I have bought many of these and the biggest disappointment is that it stops spraying for no fore see able reason. The batteries are fresh, it is clear at the sprayer, etc. They send coupons for move batteries or solution but that is not fixing the issue!

I have bought swiffer wet jet also. At least 4 of them. They all end up not working after about 3 months. I really like the ease of their use, but not sure if I'll buy another. Wasting my money.

We are on our second Swiffer in one year because the handle broke on the first one with normal pushing pressure. Everything else has worked well, but we are very disappointed that the handle gives away so easily. Would appreciate a reimbursement or replacement.

I bought a Swiffer Wet Jet to use in my kitchen and entry-way. Didn't try it right away. I even bought extra pads. When I tried to use it, it didn't work. The button that controls the solution didn't work. Tried it many times, still didn't work - wasted my money and I'm on social security.

I am very disappointed with the swifter wet jet. I bought 4 and gave them to some friends. I had one but it stopped spraying. The new ones also stopped spraying. I'm very embarrassed because theirs stopped as well. How many do I have to buy before I get one that works ? It's like throwing money out the window. Thanks Procter & Gamble !

Procter & Gamble quality of pampers nappies take a dive

I'm a staunch Pampers baby nappy supporter. Had my 1st daughter 3 years ago, and Pampers, although pricier that competitor products, always delivered. Had my 2nd daughter in November last year and stocked up on my trusty Pampers nappies. I kept one of my first born's 'New Baby No 1' nappies for sentimental reasons, and compared it to the new batch purchased for my new born. They were visibly thinner and more plastic feeling but still effective. The problem came in with 'New Baby No 2' range. My baby leaked through them like a sift! No matter how tight, loose, high or low I tried to fasten them, nothing worked. The problem seems to be the gel strip that does not extend high enough at the back of the nappy. Even tried Pampers' 'Sleep and Play No 2' with same result. I had spent a significant amount of money on utterly useless nappies I am now stuck with and had to change to Huggies. Why are the consumers being done in once hooked with inferior quality? Of course the new 'cotton feel' Pampers range does not have this problem (received a complimentary pack), but is ridiculously expensive! Mommies out there: Be warned! What a dissapointment.

Procter & Gamble defective 9 volt batch

I have experienced numerous Duracell 9 Volt coppertop batteries being "dead" right out of the newly opened package. Batteries affected have the date stamp MAR 2014 on the side of them. I have atempted to contact the consumer line but their automated voice system does not give specific guidance in reporting 9 volt battery issues. After the voice finishes its message, it automatically disconnects the call. I would like to inform whomever at Duracell that the 9 volt batteries date stamped MAR 2014 may be a bad batch and may need a recall. Thanks!

Procter & Gamble lack of integrity and values

Dear Tide, I have been satisfied with most of your commercials until of late. This one goes against the family integrity and values. We teach our children to tell the truth, yet a mother diliberately tells her daughter that she has not seen her top. When, in fact, she vividly recalls wearing it, staining it, then hiding it. When asked, she wash the top, in Tide of course, puts it back in her room. Then when her daughter wears it, her comment was, "Oh, I see you found the top."
Daughter totally innocent blames it on herself for not finding it.
A mother sits back satisfied she lied to her daughter, smiles and drink
her coffee.
America wonders why so many of our children knows how to lie, cheat and steal. Don't be a part of condoning such behavior.

Procter & Gamble I will never buy another product from them

Everyone should boycott proctor and gamble. They are shrinking their packages and still charging the same price. Case in point - charmin bath tissue. The mega rolls used to have 400 sheets; now they have 352. Don't these idiots think we notice these things? They believe their consumers are stupid. Buy the northern soft and strong or white cloud from walmart. All better and cheaper. I will never buy another p&g product.

Procter & Gamble leaking batteries

Here is a copy of the complaint that I lodged with P&G today:
I wish to lodge a formal Complaint regarding leaking Duracell AA Batteries.

Over the last 12 months, I have had numerous situations where Duracell AA Batteries have leaked inside of various pieces of equipment.

All of these batteries were within date range. They made a mess and caused discolourization to the equipment.

The number of batteries that I have replaced over the last year due to leakage, is more than 10. The latest was today (8/13/2010) where I went to replace the batteries in a handheld aviation radio, only to find that 4 out of the 6 batteries had leaked...again! This had happened to this radio with Duracell batteries back in January as well.

I've had enough!
I want an appology!

Yours, a disgruntled customer,
Paul Carew.

Procter & Gamble diaper exchange

I recently visited one of you stores to exchange pampers diapers that my daughter received as a baby shower gift.I simply wanted a larger size as the newborn were to small as her son was born at almost nine pounds .I was more then happy to pay the difference in the price .She had received many newborn diapers and he would have outgrown them before being able to use them.I of course didn't have the receipts as they were received as shower gifts.I was deeply disappointed to learn your poilicy is only to refund the lowest retail price within the last 90 days.Both bags of diapers retailed for $13.99 yet I only received a price of $3.99 a bag.The diapers had only been bought within the last two weeks .I find it very disturbing that a corporation the size of yours are allowed to rip the customer off in such a manner.I think we both know that the two bags of diaper that I was refunded $3.99 for will be placed back on the shelve and sold again for the price of $13.99 as well as I have never seen pampers sold at a price of $3.99.It sickens me that you would have such a policy in place.Its expensive enough trying to provide for a baby without a large corporation taking advantage of their customers .I will not be shopping at Zeller any longer and will advise all my friends and family of such unetical policis.I should also add that I returned diapers at Lawton without any problems in the return .I was refunded the regular price and paid the difference for the the larger size and Walmart also said they would issue a gift card for the regular retail price.I'm sure local newpapers would be interested in your "Rip of the Customer" policies as well.Perhaps you should reveiw your thoughts on your return policies to improve customer service because if not for your coustomer you would not be in bussiness.

Procter & Gamble leaking batteries

Hi all,

I want to warn everyone to stay away form 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 form Costco and recently I went to start my annual changing of the batteries in various devices and lo and behold I found leaking Duracell batteries not just one and not just in one appliance, but multiples in a variety of different devices. I found the following:

1. Two leaking double AA batteries in a Force FX collector’s edition Light Saber, not easily replaceable. It took me two hours to cleanup the mess it made

2. Two leaking AA batteries in a $ 300.00 R/C car, (for the servos). Fortunately, these were in a battery holder and did no damage to the car itself – time to clean up the mess 30 minutes

3. Two AA batteries in another car remote control, time to clean and repair 2 hours

4. Four leaking AAA batteries in a Minolta SLR camera – time to clean up and repair 2.5 hours.

5. Two leaking AA batteries in a TV remote control, I had to buy a new one of these, (thanks P&G)

6. Three leaking AAA batteries in an X10 remote light controller, it had to go to that great electronic round file in the sky, (again thanks P&G).

I’m still not done. I am going through the house checking everything that takes a battery wall clocks, alarm clock etc.

Cost in my time far 6 hours, (so far) plus the cost of having to replace two pieces of equipment that were total losses and that fact that the other things I was able to cleanup and repair are no longer in the pristine condition I’ve always tried to keep them in. Further, all these batteries were within their acceptable use dates and what’s more other brand batteries that were installed in similar devices at the same time are fine.

Proctor & Gamble huh? gamble is right, they have apparently tried to save money by going with a cheaper manufacturer and it shows.

Not only have they lost a long time customer, but I will be posting this to every complaint board I can find and warning all my friends to stay away from Duracell batteries and will be returning what batteries I have left to Costco if they will take them back.

P&G you are a classic case of penny wise and pound foolish.

Does anybody know of a class action lawsuit in respects to quality issues/leaking problems with Duracell batteries I can join?

BTW the photo shows only some of the bad batteries, I should have kept them all and took picture of them plus the damaged devices before I cleaned/repaired and/or threw them away.

OMG I’m ANGRY!

Sincerely,

A FORMER Duracell customer

I just opened my battery case for 9 volt and the whole side with aaa was corroded. I had filled it up approx 8 months ago, these batteries have 2027 on them [ 32 batteries corroded ]-- the other side is filled with thunderbolt aaa [ 20 of these ], put in at the same time. 😖.. this was my new case that holds many kinds of batteries. This has happened before when they were in the package, never opened. NEEDLESS TO SAY NO MORE DURACELLS FOR ME. Wish I could send photos. Just had to VENT about this SORRY product. Ohhh I see I might be able for photos.

I’m an Electrical Engineer. I have 3 degrees in the Electronics and Electrical fields. I have over 20 TV sets in my house along with a variety of electronic gadgets that currently utilize well over 100 batteries. Yes, I have a large house and Yes my family has a lot of battery operated devices. I've been using various types of Duracell batteries for over 40 years and I can assure you that the Duracell batteries that have been made over the past 10 years or so are absolutely garbage. Duracell batteries will positively leak. It doesn’t matter whether they are placed in a device or left in the original package, they will leak and swell. Being that I repair electronic devices for a living, I’ve had well over 500 devices come across my bench that have been ruined by leaking Duracell AA or AAA batteries. I’ve taken pictures of numerous devices destroyed by Duracell batteries. Do NOT buy them. Buy any other brand of battery.

I see this has happened to many ! Today I went through the entire house replacing the Duracell Quantum batteries and there was tons of different sizes for different things in the house and of course it was past due to return them, the Duracell batteries. I had changed something last month and saw the batteries had appeared to blow ! Crystal like material and some area's of the battery blackened. I thought about it and sort of pushed it out of my mind. Then I kept needing to replace other ones and the same thing, and even in the packages they had come in, some not even opened, many had exploded in the big package I had purchased too and had never touched! Will not buy Duracell again after reading all the comments ! lucky my weather radio was not ruined, radio, computer mouse, clocks, I could go on and on. I don't know if the company pulled them or what but I know where I get batteries they pulled them and will not sell them anymore if they are available !

Last pack of AA's I bought went dead and started leaking after a couple months. Filed a complaint and received a letter for how to properly store batteries. Are they kidding me? I have been storing batteries in the same place for 30 years and never had a problem. Never received the "cupon" they promised. I see many, many complaints on this page similar to mine. I will never trust Duracell again.

They really do not care if they ruin millions of dollars of equipment every year just as long as suckers keep buying their batteries. I can not ever buy a duracell battery again after all the electronic equipment I have lost this year alone. They could never get my business back and if they sent me free batteries I would chuck them in the garbage where duracell belongs.

Procter & Gamble minor inconvenience

roctor and Gamble has increased their Pringles package size from a net wt of 6 oz (170 g) to 6.41 oz (182g). By my calculations, the increase in ounces from 6 to 6.41 is 6.83%, and the increase in grams from 170 to 182 is 7.05%, a minor difference per can, but could be significant considering the number of cans produced. The height has increased from approximately 9.125 in to 10.5 in. which is an increase of 15.06%. When the new size can was opened, there was approximately 2 in of empty space. I can't compare this empty space to that in the old size can because I do not have an unopened one to inspect.

However, II can mentally compute that the increase in price from $1.00 to $1.50 is 50%.

I am unable to reasonably relate the price increase to size increase.

Also, the new cans are too tall for the pantry shelf where I had stored them for the past 10 years. A minor inconvenience.

My camera warned me that battery was at 10% level and I had only one set of cells left. So as I was in Halkaidiki Greece, and outside a National Market store I purchased a 4 pack of AA cells dated MAR2019, so well in date. After 140 RAW hi-res shots and the last of cells, I loaded the Duracell ones, the camera booted up and immediately shut down! Taking the cells out and cleaning the ends gave a better result, for one shot BUT then gave a 4 beep tone then shut down #*#*!#* As I still had the first set in my pocket I tried them, and they worked, :0) refitting the #*#*!#* Duracell ones still gave the poor result! #*#*!#* Duracell !
A digital voltmeter gave a 1.589V off load and 0.93V per cell on a 100mA at a 1 second load #*#*!#* Duracell

I will be sending these back to #*#*!#* Duracell
I think that original complaint is fully justified

Tide stick completely ruined a brand new shirt my wife gave me. I was better off with the original stain. I am going to talk about this experience nonstop, in every forum I can find. I will not quit until P & G's brand is in the crapper, where it belongs!

The tide pods are junk, I used them and one did not desolve in washer, instead it melted in the dryer and stuck to my comforter like melted plastic. My 125.00 comforter is ruined. BUYER BEWARE!

I am displeased with the tide to go stick. When I tried the stain stick on my jacket I waited for what seemed to be at least fifteen minutes and the stain didn't come out. So I got the package and did the process step by step and I waited for at least fifteen more minutes and it still didn't come out.

Actually, I found that commercial quite amusing and kind of sorry that it's no longer on the air. It was kind of aggravating at first, I'll admit, but I finally started laughing at it. I find humor in the Gas-X commercials too where the young man is being interviewed for a job and a woman pops her head in the door telling the interviewer that there is a call for him on "Line Toot". Oh well...!

The commercial is hilarious, and makes a clear point which I think you may be missing.

That is my FAVORITE commercial - cause when you look PAST the screaming shirt - its actually quite comical - in that situation, the stain gets more attn than the person - which is a great ad campaign.

Procter & Gamble - terrible company!

It was years ago. I hired them for my divorce case. I told them I don't want any fight in the court, we don’t need mediators, I just need their assistance to file documents. We'll write our agreements. He said OK. So we started to write the agreement, it took a while since we were still in emotional adjustment, we couldn’t sit down right away and do the...

Procter & Gamble duracell ballery leakage

I have purchased Duracell batteries in a 6 AA size batteries pack. The price of these batteries is more than 3 times as compared to normal batteries. But i bought these batteries for my digital camera thinking that it will last long. But hardly after 25-30 shots first 2 batteries got exhausted. Second 2 batteries exhausted even before 25 shots. I inserted the last 2 batteries, and shot 2-3 photographs and kept the camera at home. After 15-17 days when i tried to click photo, camera was not operating. When i checked, i found that one of the batteries have got leaked.

I have never expected this kind of problem in Duracell at least. Very bad quality batteries i got for a very costly price.

If somebody has any information on how to approach the company, pls guide.

Regards,
Vikas Gupta

Purchased Duracell Recharge Ultra Battery's because the package states they are Pre-Charged. Upon opening the package I found the Battery's were fully DISCHARGED. How fresh is this stock. How long will these battery's last? Package says 5 years guaranteed but from when?

Drop the advertisements that support the NFL. Players and teams that disrespect America, our flag, our national anthem and our military do not deserve our support. I am actively encouraging my friends and family not to buy products that support the NFL.

These towels, when wet, smell like wet dog. I thought it was just a bad roll. When I tried the rest of the pack, it was the same thing, stinky dog smell. I can't dry my hands or anything other with these. What a waste of money on what I thought were good towels.
