I opened a new pack I bought at Sam's Club. All the batteries were leaking and have never been used. Yikes! It is late so I cannot go to the store and replace them right now. I have always paid up for Duracell batteries because I thought they were the best. BTW, these are the special long term (10-year shelf life) batteries.

What do you suggest I do?

I am very surprised and disappointed.

I have a battery operated Chelsea Shipstrike mantel clock that I paid $700 for several years ago. (You can check out their web page and see I'm not kidding). I've always used Duracell batteries I buy from Costco. However, my Chelsea clock has corrosion damaged in the battery section due to a leaking Duracell battery... same for several other battery operated clocks, flash lights and remotes I have. That's not all! I have a battery storage case where all my C-cell batteries were leaking! And they weren't even used yet.

I am truly disappointed in Duracell and will never buy another Duracell battery. I've started stocking up on ALLMAX batteries as their ads claim they are leak proof batteries.

What happened to Duracell?

Hi, my last can of hair spray stopped spraying with 3/4 of a can left. (198g) I tried everything to unclog it but to no avail. This happened a few years back as well, but this is my favorite hair spray. I've tried many other brands but keep going back to this. Could I possibly get a coupon to replace it? SKU # [protected] DOT 2P M5655 are also numbers on the can.

Thanks

I have recently learned of your vaccine mandated for employees. This is unconstitutional and severe overreach! My family and friends all agree not to purchase any of your products until a correction is made. This is America! Freedom and Liberty for all! OSHA has been blocked by judge because it is government overreach and unconstitutional. Why the knee jerk reaction? The CDC has stated that the vaccine does not stop a person from catching or transmitting the virus. So making employees receive the vaccine does not stop transmission to other employees. Does not keep anyone safe! Do some research and stop making it political.

As a consumer of your products I have a problem with you mandating that your employees get the Covid vaccine. It is between them and their doctor whether they get it or not.

Although it may seem difficult at first it will get easier. I will not purchase anything affiliated with your name as long as you mandate this dangerous vaccine on your employees. You won't get a done from me or any of my friend. I shop for lots of people.
It is wrong and you know it. This is not a dangerous virus. My seven children, my parents in there 90s and most my friends have had covid and no one was hospitalized. But I have lost two friends to the vaccine and two are near deaths door from the vaccine. This vaccine is much more deadly.
Have a good day
Thank you,

Ordered Pert from WalMart as I did many times before. When it arrived I noticed it had a white top/pump. Didn't think anything about it, just a change in packaging. NO! It is completely different even though the bottle says it's the same. It comes out looking like a gel, a shiny green. I don't think there's any conditioner in it. It's not creamy and leaves my hair course. It's terrible!

I wish to complain about your banal, demeaning and grossly offensive TV advertisement in Italy (a women prancing about, cleaning a bathroom). I will NEVER buy this product until and when your ad 'gurus' update their ideas about women in the 21st century, as reflected in the advertising of Viakal (and related products).

Always discrete pads say in hidden, small letters "lightly scented."

I got my money back! I have perfume allergies, as many do, and I think this should be clearly stated on the front cover.

Plus, I don't think it smells nice.

I had a similar thing with laundry detergent, and was delighted to learn all — free, clear solved my laundry problem. Had to rewash all my clothes and sheets!

I just grabbed the last pod and threw it in the wash. Before I toss the container I look in to see a BUG that has laid EGGS and THIS is what I've been mixing my clothes in with? I'm mortified! I have pictures

You can see there is liquid still in the container and nothing comes out when you try to spray . Over the years, I have had several bottles that this happens to. The product name Is Febreeze Air.

In around 2009 I wrote to them and sent them a sketch of tide pods, they wrote back saying sorry were not interested. I kept the letter in a safe place together with a copy I had mailed to myself certified with signature requested. Anyway after a few years P&G made the machine to create tide pods, I wrote to them multiple times with no response, when I saw the tide pods in the supermarket I became so depressed that I tried to take my own life, I was so broke and to see that an employee or the company sold my idea that they claimed not interested in, I became devastated, what saved me was to look at my kids then say veronica don't be stupid don't leave these kids without a mother, so I'm still here and with lots of product ideas that will probably bring me some business. Hurricane sandy wiped all my proof away since then I file provisional patents for every letter. God and I know I created the pods, and P&G knows I created it. I would like to discover if one of the worker that read the mail sold it to them. That company tries to steal other people's ideas, not just pods. I write to them with no response

I purchases the HE/OXY Tide. Love the product, but whoever designed the container should have been fired before the product was every allowed to reach production lines.

Double opening container is an ok concept. Measuring cap with two openings, Horrible horrible Idea.

You measure out your tide and the remaining liquid seeps down your bottle and onto the surface of your cabinets. There is no way to successfully remove all the tide from the inside of the cap or the outside of the bottle or a cabinets. The next time you pick the tide up it is like handling slick slime. And of course with teenagers it hits the flood and then the real mess begins. BAD DESIGN - WILL NOT BUY AGAIN EVER.

I have used these pods as a convenient way of measuring detergent required. Mostly it has gone well but I had a terrible experience when changing bedding for quick turnover as other family member were arriving the next day.

One pair of double sheets and one pair of single sheets were ruined. Frustrating afternoon spent trying to redeem items and not succeeding.

Through this experience, I have come to realize also what happed to a load of high quality dark towels that ended up with blotches of discolouration on every towel. I no longer use these for visiting friends and family.

These pods are expensive. I use them as directed. I can no longer trust them, nor recommend them.

I wish to file a complaint and request for reimbursement of cost of replacement items.

For years, Duracell was my go to brand but I will never allow another in go into ANY of my devices. I've incurred hundreds of dollars in device repair and replacement.

I have sent two previous emails about this product without any response. No emails have been in my spam folder, as I have checked. To update you on those previous emails, your product is not the same as it has been for the last 15 years I've been using it. It seems like the conditioner is missing. The color is not even close to the previous product. I have included photos with every email and have sent them here also. Pert used to be not a "squeaky clean" shampoo. With the conditioner it never did this. Please respond to this complaint as no one has done before.

After using this just the one time in our one bedroom flat the pad has dried up so are they a one time use because if so the they are a complete waste of money.
I would like to know if you have any suggestions as how to stop this or if they are just to be used the one time as the purchase of this utensils have been totally pointless.

Brought a brand new 4 x pack of ultra alkaline AA batteries. Installed them into a card shuffler, loaded cards into it and pressed the shuffle button.
After about 10 seconds of shuffling there was a loud Bang from within the unit (of course the shuffle button was released immediately).
Removal of the battery cover revealed one of the batteries had "crapped itself" (a technical term...) and had a heap of vaseline type goo within the battery holder. Knowing it was probably an alkaline caustic based goo I immediately scooped out the majority and washed off the remainder.
As an electronic engineer I opened the shuffler to see what went bang and there is a motor and switch and nothing else to go bang (the motor was still ok) I measured the batteries 2 x 1.57V 1 x 1.54V and the "crapped" cell 1 x 0.85V. Over too many years to remember I always used duracell coppertops due to them never leaking - what have you done? It appears from all the complaints I see online, recently that your production/quality has nosedived a bit. Picture shows faulty battery to the left. Only batch type number I could find was 1009543.

Duracell batteries AA ruined my remote controls and my flashlights after three months Unfortunately the mag lights you can't even get them apart to clean them so they're trash and so are the remote controls because it damage the circuit boards One of them goes to the antenna and the television and the other two remotes are LG remotes for smart TVs the flashlights were mini mag lights after open the bottom cover cannot even get the Batteries to even budge beat the hell out of them we're basically trash after that my mailing address is 7130 borie lane Rembert South Carolina 29128

I purchased the Duracell Optimum batteries a few months ago and noticed acid leaking from several of them. I tossed them out and kept the remaining batteries. A few days ago I went to replace a battery and saw that the remaining 6 of the 12 originally purchased are completely covered in acid leaking from the batteries. I'm not happy about this as my understanding was that these batteries were supposed to be the best. I have included 2 pics of what I'm left with.
