Procter & Gamble Duracell batteries

I purchase my pkg. of batteries only at Costco, which always has a good expiry date.

I purchased my Muddy trail camera one & a half years ago (receipt I have) as I am an avid outdoor hiker. I leave it up for about 2 days only, hoping stolen it does not get year round I use it to capture wildlife along my trails.

I keep my camera in good working condition along with other outdoor equipment I own & use often, being sure the batteries are up to par.

I put it away for the March Break as away I was. When I returned again not quite 2 wks. later it would not turn on. Checking the batteries to my horror I found they had leaked in my battery compartment. (pics I have)

I tried to wipe away the mess, still not working I gave it to my friends I hike with, he is an electrician to look at it.

No such luck, it was so corroded in the battery area and the wires.

My camera is not even 2 years old, I would appreciate if my camera would be replaced due to the damage the batteries caused. I am a senior, do love the outdoors, I hike daily enjoying the beauty & the otherwise harder to capture animals by the eye, using the camera. I paid $ 70.00 for this camera on sale.

I shall wait your reply.

Thanks, Linda.

Desired outcome: Pay for another camera,or reimbursing my price I paid hoping I can purchase another at this low price..

Procter & Gamble Bottle design: Fairy Max Power Antibacterial Anti-Leak Technology.

Are these 'Anti-Leak' bottles tested against heat/direct sunlight? The bottle I purchased was kept on the wooden windowsill & has leaked twice and taken off the paint on the sill. If this product is not shall we say 'heat' resistant then perhaps the bottle should state this and that it should be stored away from direct sunlight/heat?

Desired outcome: Perhaps the bottle design is not 'Anti-Leak' as suggested or should carry a warning 'do not stand bottle in direct sunlight' otherwise it 'will leak'.

Procter & Gamble Comet cleanser

Hello, I am frustrated that your company no longer packages comet in the plastic containers. That is a major reason why I purchased it over other brands. I am willing to pay more for this convenience. I do not like the cardboard containers because they can get wet and damage the container and well as getting the powder inside wet, often making it unusable.

I know many other people with the same opinion. PLEASE, PLEASE bring the container back! I would be eternally grateful.

Please let me know if your company would consider this request.

Thank you

Bonnie Allen

Desired outcome: Plastic container again for comet.

Procter & Gamble old spice swagger deoderant

About a month ago my daughter switched from old spice wilderness with lavender to the Swagger deodorant and around 03-8/9-22 she broke out with bumps and pimples that burn and irritate her comfortability. It is 03-13-22 and it has not weakened even though she has had to stop wearing deodorant all around because of her pain. I just recently read where you have been made aware of this happening to many people who use this style and have not done anything to change the ingredients you use to make it. This is absolutely absurd that years later your product(s) are still causing injury to your customers. I wish I would have known about this years ago so I could have switched to a product I can use with out fear. I will be sharing this on my social media along with pictures of the irritation on my daughters armpits. The people should be made aware.

Procter & Gamble Always

RThe period towel they created ALWAYS scented had been purchased by acccident by me in 2021. Displayed by Sainsbury's and shoved at the bottom. It was discounted. The discount was there to get rid of the product but something more was behind it. You see Sainsbury's is a UK company, in the UK they are snide and racism is very real. Not open like the UK. Targeting happens. This product was created and unbeknownst to me was scented. I don't use thibgs like that ever. The scented pad was like ziflora. The actual product is so strong it was and is a bleach like chemical. No women ever should use products like this anywhere near sensitive organs. They tried, the company, to play it off as though safe. I suddenly began leaking. Never before did I have this problem ever. The product burns or infuses the strongest, heavy burning, chemical sensation into the deepest part of the female anatomy that these people should be shut down for selling such products. No one regulated that nor tested it.

Procter & Gamble Product not complete

Wrong amount of washing capsules in the pack. What made me question this is when I opened the lock safe lid, there was no protective seal, which didn’t ‘sit right’. Whether this is an issue with the supplier or the supermarket bought from (Asda), I don’t know.

There was only one less, but I have to shop on a budget so I do buy the better value for money products.

Desired outcome: Either a replacement or voucher would be great.

Procter & Gamble Fairy Platinum - non bio

A plastic container of 30 liquid tabs was brought recently, and yesterday it was found that at the bottom of the container there were 8 of the tabs had burst and the liquid was laying on the bottom.

The product works well with our washing needs, and we are quite satified with the product overall, it is just a slight disapointment to find that not all of the cabs can be used.

The remaining tabs that could be used were placed into a small container, and the original container was disposed of. Sorry no photographs are available

Desired outcome: It would be appreachated if the offer of a coupon for the replacement of the loss of the tabs could be actioned?

Procter & Gamble Secret deodorant

I have used Secret for 40+ years but am going to make a change to another brand. When the roll up gets low, it breaks off and falls onto the floor (what a mess!) or falls down into the tube. This has happened 3 times. I have 2 more containers to use out of the 5-pack that I purchased at Sam's and I'm sure these last 2 will do the same. The ounces have been decreased so with this decrease and the waste because the roll up breaks, I have lost money. I hope others feel the same way and will stop using Secret until the old container is brought back.

Desired outcome: Bring back the container that works and holds up.

Procter & Gamble Head & shoulders packaging

Please can you start marking your packaging for Head & Shoulders (specifically anti dandruff shampoo) but probably any other of your plastic bottled products with the appropriate recycling triangle with the appropriate no 1-7. It is no use putting a triangle with 25% inside and Recyclable Bottle above it, So I just have to bin it for landfill. Other manufacturers have managed to get their products packaged in recyclable plastic packages with the relevant markings.

Desired outcome: You mark your packaging appropriately preferably showing that they are recyclable

Procter & Gamble Herbal essences, totally twisted, defined curls, conditioner and shampoo

Dear Procter and Gamble,

Procter and Gamble have outstanding products. I have especially enjoyed your product line of Herbal Essences, Totally Twisted conditioner, and shampoo. I have used these products for many years. I love the way the conditioner leaves my curls shiny and smooth. The berry scent is intoxicating. It is hard to find a product of the same quality within my price range.

Walmart stopped stocking Herbal Essences, Totally Twisted conditioner, and shampoo last year. I then started buying it at the grocery store, which was a little more money, but I love the product. The grocery store has since stopped stocking it as well. I started venturing out of Rhode Island into Massachusetts to hunt down that product. I asked friends and family who travel to pick it up for me if they see it out of town, but no one can find it anywhere. I am contacting you today to complain about the shortage. Has Procter and Gamble officially dropped the Totally Twisted product from the Herbal Essences hair care line? If Procter and Gamble are still manufacturing this product, can you please advise where this product can still be purchased from? It is hard to find a replacement product that does the job as well. I hope it has not been discontinued permanently.

Hope to hear back from you soon. Thank you for your time, and any assistance you can provide would be appreciated.

Sincerely,

Cynthia Mello-Wolz

Procter & Gamble L. Chlorine Free Feminine Products

Our household has used the L. products for some time because they were made in Italy. Now, why are they made in China? Many Americans are no longer purchasing products made in China and so we will no longer use these products. It is unfortunate companies are worried more about their bottom line than the integrity of the companies and countries they choose to work with. Do better P&G.

Procter & Gamble Era 2x cleaning power 150 oz. Detergent

The UPC code is [protected], number beneath that is [protected]. I opened and poured out the required amount of detergent into the cup provided and noticed that it was a strange greenish hue and smelled very weird. I poured it into the washing machine, but decided not wash my clothes with this, as I don't know why or what the problem is and I rinsed out the washer before using a different bottle of Era. I have used Era for many years and it has always been blue colored and has had a nice fragrance.

I would like to know what happened. Thank you.

Desired outcome: Worried about what might be in this container. Desire a response.

Procter & Gamble DAZ washing powder

I have recently had to dispose of a box (2 portions only used in wash mc) of DAZ washing powder. The powder was full of lumps (congealed, pebble like lumps).
The "powder" did not completely empty from the powder chute in my wash mc and a considerable amount was left/congealed in the chute.
The box of powder was purchased from Tesco Extra supermarket, Brislington, Bristol.
As a pensioner I cannot afford to waste money on products that are faulty and not fit for purpose.

Procter & Gamble Ariel

Hi I have bought Ariel washing pods for a long time now but the last box I bought of 36 was a waste of money as two pods were split in the box and it affected all the other pods, covering them in liquid and rendering them useless. Can I please have a replacement box or money back.
