I purchase this all the time and now find out it’s not all natural theses companies are getting away with murder on these products hope every one sues them
In my best SCARFACE voice: SAY HELLO TO U LIL’ FRIEND, AMERICA! It is so unfortunate that America is killing it’s people from the foods we eat, the water we drink, to the products like this. Politicians cracks me up when they say they want whats best for the AMERICAN PEOPLE, yeah right! Who is working the FDA, is my question…smh. Ok, I’m done ranting……..(LOL)
Who said that using these kinds of products are killing people? This suit says the label said the products were ‘natural’ and not all the products were natural.
I believe that the bigwigs at the helm of these fraudulent product are also the ones holding stock in these and other companies including competitors. I asked my doctor about treating an illness he diagnosed me with by using homeopathic medicine, he laughed and told me ” how can I get rich with my stock in ……… If you do that!”
The world has become so greedy and evil……how long can it last?
Its not the average American. Its these big companies and government. Trust me we are just unhappy with them as everyone else.
I agree, I did buy this at least one a month for almost a year, but who keeps their receipts for personal hygiene products? Not me. It’s unfortunate that these companies deceive people. Such a shame.
“hope every one sues them”
LOL I know what youre saying but that’s exactly what a class action lawsuit is
i have used this a handful of times.
I have used arm and hammer natural deo countless times, it was uasuallly set at a very good price and I liked to save money so it became my choice brand for deo for quite a long time….
I had decided to try this a while back and only recently found out that it is not all natural! It really bugs me out when I can’t trust products and have to do a ton of research beforehand to make sure that what they say is true.
I have used this product numerous times.
If I purchase an item and it states that the ingredients are natural then I expect them to be just that..natural smh
I purchased this thinking it was natural wow.
It seem that as long as this company has been around it would offer products what it says …so much for natural
I purchased this in good faith only to find out it’s not “natural” 🙁
I purchased this cause it stated “natural”
I purchased this deodorant especially for my daughter at around 6 years old thinking it was natural and milder than other deodorants.
why would you lie about it being “Natural?”
I have three sticks because they were on sale. Now I know why
I bought a few here and a few there because they were on sale at a really good price. I’ve already used some.
I guess I’m stuck with the rest – don’t like to waste money.
wow I didn’t think I would have to do research when buying a product but now I know your company credibility is ruined, fooled me in purchasing your product.
I bought this often, thinking it was made from natural products. It is not….whats up with that.
I have used this product plenty of times
I buy this all the time..
I buy Arm&Hammer products all the time.
I buy this all the time.
i want my money back
I had been using this as alternative to expensive Tom’s natural deodorant. Now what do you do after use of the supposed natural product?
I have three sticks because they were on sale. Now I know why
Im into all natural products and I trust Arm & Hammer as a brand. what a mistake
I have been purchasing this so-called “natural” product for about 20 years…have bought soo many I can’t even begin to remember how many.
But the most egregious part of this is that these people have the gall to ask me to pay to mail this claim form via ‘snail mail’ instead of simply providing an on-line form that could be filled in and sent back to the administrator with any documentation needed, to be uploaded. SCUMBAGS!!
Allowed to claim five without receipts? Who always Keeps Them? Not me! This is a crock-US should present them with a very large fine!
Wow. I feel completely raped and murdered by this. They told me it was all natural and I believed them. I’ll never be the same. I’ll never trust anyone EVER again. My trust in the world is shattered. etc. Whew boy this is something. Just unbelievably horrible. This is worse than WW2.
🙂 You rock, Steve. That is all.
could’a fooled me, been using this for a long time because of sensitive skin.
Use it many times, even bought about 24 for relatives recently. Its a shame that America lets companies get away with murder. Why not do research before putting things out there and labeling them incorrectly on purpose.
So disappointed I brought 6 for myself and teenage daughter and who the heck keeps receipt I would be considered a hoarder if I would keep all my receipts cause my home would be filled with paper. Bummer.
It turned out that the ingredients are not natural. and I broke out in a rash I had to see the Dr for.
said it was all natural have been using it for years !
they were on sale purchase about 5 OH MY ARM HAMMER.
my husband bought this deodorant because it was on sale.
I Definetly Bought Arm & Hammer natural deodorant. I try to stick to natural products, but wow, I never knew.
During what time period did yo have to purchase this deodorant. Bought this for years and not sure when they had this on their label.
Thank You
I’ve been using this product for a couple of years as I need to change what I was using because I was getting a rash from my favorite product, so I thought I would try a “natural” product to be on the safe side.! What a sham!!!! How did the FDA let this was get past with that “Natural” line on it! Guess our Government is completely broken in EVERY AGENCY nowadays, NO ONE Seems to be doing their job anymore, and just let the Consumer get screwed!
Shameful behavior!
i puchase 5 bottle every month for the last 5 years.
I formed a rash immediately
i have bought and used got a rash and had to quit
I THOUGHT IT WAS ALL NATURAL
was not good for me ,plus started to break out so I stop use of this product
I’ve been buying it for years thinking that it was all natural, come to find out it is not It has made me a little upset, but what are you to do? it seems everyone this days are just liars including our own government.
This is intentional deception. All Natural means ALL NATURAL! There is no grey area.
I thought it was all natural because I could brush my teeth with the powder. It was a trusted brand that my mother always used. The powder I thought was safe to use and figured the deodorant was also natural.
I not only buy Arm & Hammer deodorant, but also many of their other products. I used to think of them as a good ole, reliable American product, as I remembered my grandmother using Arm & Hammer baking soda for everything, years ago. I felt that they were a dependable, long lived company and always reasonably priced. My faith in them and all of their products is now shaken. I will now have to reevaluate my choices in everything that they make now. Smh slowly. FOR SHAME ARM & HAMMER! :(.
Was not all natural
We have use Arm and Hammer deodorant since I was a little children to keep drains, toilets and the ice box smelling fresh and clear. This is the first time I have heard anything unpleasant about this product.
i have used for many years
what are valid dates of purchase?
used this product for past couple years wow
WOW. Im upset with what people get away with now.
I was fooled at least 5 times
I have always used arm and hammer. Got a rash from the all natural deodorant and had to discontinue use :/
And I thought it would be nice to use something natural…..
Still can’t find the info needed to claim my refund.
What is the time period during which the label was wrong? Doesn’t anybody know?
ADMIN
Hi Dee,
I would suggest that you enter a date that best matches your recollection of having purchased the product.
We use arm and hammer all the time i did’t know it wasn’t all natural i was wondering why i was getting so many rashes.
I have purchased this product many times.
I have purchased this product several times.
I have purchase a several times. Had to stop due to weird itchy rash. Not allergic to anything that I know of. Makes sense now.
I too received a horrible reaction from it to. For a moment, I thought it was me, turn around it was the Arm and Hammer. They said it was organic (natural), turn around it is loaded with chemicals. Liars.
I, having trusted Arm & Hammer products since being a child because my grandmother use them, purchased this product.
The rashes are horrible . I didnt know natural products could do such a thing
Everytime I have tried to use this brand no matter what kind my skin start to itch really bad and I brake out in hives under my arms that last for weeks and my skin starts to peel
I used this deodorant because it was “natural”. I was left with a rash undey arms, so much for natural.
Natural is the way I go not impressed with this produce
I used it all of the time until I found out it really wasn’t natural. So sad.
I feel lied to “All Natural” means ALL NATURAL!
REALLY? I’ve actually grown fond of using this product; initially purchased this item because it clearly states that the ingredients are natural, and come to find out, they are not natural at all…. Not cool….. Although, personally, the product works awesomely on the ‘sweating factor’ of it all…. Tis not cool. I was truly under the impression that the ingredients were natural. If I, or anyone really….. purchases something because of what the exterior advertisements say, then I expect them to be just that.. Disappointing.
Please help the shoppers, myself included, gain a bit back for consistently having faith in what we are being sold.
I bought this product because it said it was “all Natural” how is that?
Such a bummer!
I tried this deodorant a few months ago and really liked the way it smelled and glided on. how freaking hard is it to make something truly all natural?!
why do they all lie
I have used this product twice and broke out in a rash both times.
I bought this for my daughter who has very sensitive skin. After a few days she had red bumps and a rash from this product. If a product states “all natural” it should be.
Bought for my husband and he got a rash so we stopped using. Tried again a week later and the rash came back, so we threw it away
I have purchased this in the past for myself and family,
I have purchased 5. I’ve used this product for several years. I have paid extra for a natural product that is not, in fact, natural
i bought this before
I believed it was natural!
I trusted and supported this product based on natural ingredients………I purchased this product for health concerns..Why?? Consumers should know before spending hard earned money
I buy arm and hammer detergent and deodorant. Love the smell.
I bought several times throughout the year for my use at the Gym after my shower and morning workouts.
I have bought five of these not realizing know lable
I have bought these and my daughter broke out
I have used this for years
I have used it for years
I have purchased many arm and hammer products to include deodarant
I’ve bought a few it thinking it was natural and safe wow disappointed!
How are so many companies getting away with false advertisement for natural products that actually contain more chemicals.
I have use all kind of arm and hammer products…
I use all kind of arm and hammer products. many purchased,
I buy this all the time for my granddaughter who only 6 because it says natural i cant believe its not! wow what a lie. until now i loved Arm & hammer products now i will stay away from them.
ADMIN-Hi Alicia,
While it is not customary to begin using deodorant that early in life I commend you for your efforts to ensure your granddaughter learns good hygiene. Go ahead and file your claim and if you have receipts you may be able to get a little extra.
It caused a rash was unhappy when I realized it was not natural
i tried it over six months thinking it. Was “all natual”
Purchased Only 2 ,sorry I did.Sadly,I trusted the name brand.
Wow what liars
Purchased 3 sticks on sale
I can’t believe this is not natural! No wonder I went back to Toms Brand!

I purchased it one time.
I purchased three of the arm and hammer.
I bought this twice
Oh wow. I have used this for years.
sad to hear claims are false.
SADLY no receipts.
I have purchased this brand of deodorant and laundry detergent several times until my son had an allergic reaction that sent him to the hospital.
When I started itching and not knowing why I took a better look at the product and then realized it actually was not made of natural ingredients. False advertising i thought.
Bought this product many times and the company completely misrepresented this product. Waste of money on my part. I have very sensitive skin and nothing was natural about this product at all!
I have used this product many times.this product was not all natural
I have been using this product for the last year……I still have 2 full sticks I haven’t used yet..
I always try and use holistic an other forms of natural medicines, foods and cosmetics
I’m very very disappointed to find this out
My children and I have used this product,
I bought this once because it was supposed to be healthier than other brands but immediately broke out in a rash! I stopped using it and it took a week to 10 days to heal up. so only used baby powder during that time. Not good in 100 degree heat and 90% humidity!!
I only use the natural kind for year
You people are all liars and committing perjury you should all be ashamed of your selves this is for people who really bought this product I hope they check all your claims carefully
I WOULD GO OUT OF MY WAY TO BUY ARM & HAMMER NATURAL. THESE COMPANIES GET AWAY WITH EVERYTHING. THEY MADE MORE MONEY FROM LYING THEN THEY WILL HAVE TO DO WITH THIS CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. IT’S LIKE THEY KNOW THEY WILL EVENTUALLY GET SUED BUT CLAIM ‘NATURAL’ ANYWAY TO MAKE BIG BUCKS.
I have been using this product for my husband for the last 2 years.
I bought it thinking it natural and it was not .Not happy at all with this product.
WOW, I swear by this deodorant, It’s the only deodorant that keeps me smelling fresh without irritating my skin. I would search high and low to stock up on this product!
I have boughten this for my 2 and I (3 per month) for a year or 2. ALWAYS thought it was truly natural 🙁
i thought it was natural, i been purchasing it since 2012. Geez i want a refund.
It deceived me as it is artificial rather than natural.
I developed a rash due to sensitive skin, all natural is not natural.
Found out the product was not all natural

I purchased some arm and hammer natural essentials and it caused me to break out in hives. The hives were very irritated and painful. I will never use their products again.

I used this product many times.cause bumps under my arm,had the same problem
I bought monthly for about 6months, thinking it was natural. Dissapointed
I purchased this product in good faith thinking it was natural. Very important to me having been diagnosed with CLL.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO STATE THE TRUE FACTS ABOUT A PRODUCT FOR US CONSUMERS WHO RELY ON THE FACTS. ESPECILLY WHEN PURCHASING FOR YOUR CHILDREN. WE SHOULDNT HAVE TO DO ENTIRE BACK GROUND SEARCH OF THE PRODUCT AND COMPANY BEFORE WE FIND THE TRUTH… WE HAVE ENOUGH GOING ON IN OUR LIFES OF EVERY DAY STRESS THAN TO BE RIPPED OF MENTALLY AND FINANCIALLY BY BILLION DOLLAR CORPORATIONS.
Used it briefly, didn’t like the rash it caused.
I tried the product 3 times. Doesn’t work. Some irritation each time.
Made me sore and I broke out in a rash
I buy ARm & Hammer anti perspirant Deodorant and ONLY arm & hammer, I would not allow for their unnatural ingredients to cause any harm to their customers or for example some kind of allergic reaction to the unnatural ingredients.
Such a shame.
I buy it all the time for my family’s but it broke one of my kid arm out so bad he started getting boil
I have used arm& hammer
Paid more for a product not legit to its claims..

i use this product and i love it
I brought this product and I had a bad reaction to it.
bought it because it was all natural. It didnt even work

I bought this product under false pretense. I was under the impression it was ALL Natural—as advertised.
Skin broke out really bad
I brought this before and broke out with bad red bumps/ rash…….never will buy again
never had an issue with this product. Interesting.
This is just awful, I’ve been buying this thinking I was doing something healthy, I always had 1 at home, 1 at work, 1 in a travel bag….It’s just infuriating that they can make false claims like this. I thought I could trust this name….very iriitated they abused that trust.
bought this and had a rash. Discontinued use.
Yeah I purchased a 3 pack of this stuff off of amazon. I remember settling on this brand because it was natural and I liked lemon scent. Had I known it wasn’t all natural I wouldn’t have purchased them. I feel cheated.
ADMIN – Hi Cody,
If you purchased your deodorant using Amazon you can go into your account and obtain proof of purchase to support your claim.
Used this for year’s.
I purchased 4 of them.
Bought about 4 of these and had a terrible rash. Will not use again.
I purchased in a pack

I expected it to be all natural…made me scratch
I purchased 1
I purchased 2 of them under false advertisement
i have been using arm and hammer for about 5 years thinking it was natural,had a severe allergic reaction and was hospitalized come to find out it was the retardant,
Geez, I use this all the time. Did they fix the problem yet??
I was using this product until it started breaking me out. I see why it was so cheap.
I got it for my daughter because she has sensitive skin and have used it myself. My daughter broke out in a rash and had to stop using it. This is so wrong in so many ways. This company should have to pay for everyone who broke out in a rash or worse. I use to trust the name Arm and Hammer but not anymore.
I BOUGHT THIS DEODERANT AND IT DIDNT SEEM TO WORK. I WAS NOT SATISFIED WITH THE PRODUCT.
i still use this product amongst my all natural products
cant use, gave me rash.
I buy this product frequently currently have some in my bathroom. My fiancee did stop using it because he said it made him itch and felt sticky all the time.
I was just not satisfied with this product at ALL!
I was not pleased at all with this product.
Very upsetting
I use this product to keep me from getting irritated.
I was not satisfied or impressed
I purchased 2 of these product’s and wasn’t pleased at all.
I have very sensitive skin. I used this item multiple times. Until I broke out. I thought maybe something else could have caused it. I waited a week put it on the next and It happened again.
I buy a couple of these on the regular.. disappointing that they falsely advertise.. what a shame.
I buy a couple of these on the regular, disappointing that they falsely advertise, what a shame!!!!
I purchase these products all the time. Been doing so for 20 plus years. Kinda sad to see what advertising has become. Very upsetting
I buy several of these because i run a homeless shelter at least 20-25 a month.
I purchased several of these to stock up when they first came out. it always felt “clammy and sticky”. I ended up tossing the used one out and giving the other 3 to friends to try.
We buy these for our kids all the time ….very disappointing…
I used this and got a very bad rash
I buy this product for my grandson, guess I won’t anymore.
I have used this product for a few years…so does the rest of my family… I suppose I won’t be buying anymore..
very disappointed, I try to be careful what I use and now this.
I have used this product and my family has used this. No more will I be purchasing this product.
I always thought armer hammer was a natural product that disappoints me
that makes me feel mis lead
One Purchased
ALL NATURAL MEANS ALL NATURAL YOU ARE DISGUSTING !!!!
Been using this product ever since it came out. Goes to show you can’t believe everything you read. On to a different brand.
This came as a surprise to me.I have purchased this product on several occasions because I saw it as a better alternative to many other products out there.
No longer will i be purchasing this product for my family….
It is truly sad that we can’t trust the products we buy in America, Maybe we just start buying everything from Canada. I used this product, no on to find something “truly” natural.
My husband uses this product, just found out it’s not natural
i have used this a handful of times. who would have thunk arm and hammer would not be safe? Crazy!
I bought a lot of these I thought they were great. GUESS NOT!!
same here
im highly disappointed now, i bought this product because it says its all natural and it not.. wow!
I bought this deodorant thinking it was all natural.
i used these on a regular basis before. guess they wasnt as good as i thought they were
……………… wow very disappointed. Ive been hearing about all the crazy bad things that are put in deodorant and I though I was switching to something natural…………
Watch what I buy due to allergies. Used and believed was all natural. Would like to believe the product is as stated.
Thought natural was safe. Thought products made in USA was safe. We all got taken.
I bought this for my husband to use because of him having cancer and I wanted to reduce the amount of chemicals he was exposed to. Very disappointing product anyway.
I purchased it all the time and never had problems but switched because it said it was all natural. Not cool at all.
Over the years I’ve become much more conscious of the I things I can do that are better for my family and for the environment. Recycling has already been an easy choice, and so too, I thought, was buying this “natural” deodorant from Arm & Hammer. Why can’t companies just be honest?
What a waste. So much time thinking it was “Natural”.
I purchased Arm and Hammer Deodorant for my son because he had an allergy. But it broke him out further .My address is 8956 Crestview Circle Union City, GA 30291
I have purchased this porduct several times
i through out the years always bought arm and hammer, whats up with that.
I have purchased this items over 4 times,no problems with product
I used only natural products and to have this marketed as natural is criminal.
i’m really disappointed to find out that something i’ve been using for years is not the natural thing that i believed i was using. I also use the arm and hammer toothpaste and have been for as long as i can remember. Sad that this company has been getting away with this.
use this product didn’t seem to have problem,but I do try to use all natural
Bought thinking it was all natural
I purchased this for my youngest son. So wrong!
i used this product numerous times.
Ive used this product for number of years because of its “natural” and reasonable price.
I found this deodorant on sale and bought it like I as really getting a deal, I can’t believe this. It is amazing how people use other people to make a sale. This is really sad!!!!
Its such a shame that on the product it says — Natural and it isnt
I got it on sale and I hated it!!
Just started using Arm & Hammer Essentials. Both of my under arms feel like they are on fire. I can’t put my arms down while sleeping or lack thereof because of the pain this product is causing me. This product should be pulled from all store shelves and not be sold under any circumstances. My skin is raw. Possible trip to the emergency room if I can’t get the pain under control. I’m sure the skin will split open as the rash dries. I have pictures of this experience.
I had a really bad reaction to Arm and Hammer Essentials.
I purchased these deodorant products for my daughters when they both turned age 9 and needed something under their arm pits. I used this brand for them because of the arm and hammer (baking soda) as my grandmother suggested for them to use. They are now age 29 and 34. They used the products for 9 – 10 years
I THOUGHT THIS WAS ALL NATURAL
i thought the product was all natural when i bought it
i bought this product thinking it was all natural and it was a lie.
wow i actually used it and even got it for some of my friends..ive always been into products that are natural..not right that they claimed it was natural.
I hope it was all natural.
I am upset with knowing this product is not natural.
Do not leave expired claim information up.
ADMIN- Hi Anne,
Thanks for your suggestion. Expired information is helpful for reference and to provide contact information to those filed.
Purchased twice, thought it was natural
i PURCHASED THE DEODORANT SEVERAL TIMES AND KEPT BREAKING OUT IN A RASH , WENT TO MY DOCTOR AND HE TOLD ME TO DISCONTINUE USE.
i hoped that i was all natural. i purchased 2
I PURCHASED THE DEODORANT SEVERAL TIMES, i got rashes not wondering why but i switched to Woman’s Secrete and found that it keeps me more dryer, less B>O. and NO RASHES, i guess the PH is different……
$11.76 received today in TX.
$11.76 in AZ
I just received my check for $7.06 in DE I have no clue as to why it is so low compared to what others received here after buying multiple deodorant’s of this brand? Has me stumped.. Glad to know that others received checks for this false advertisement they have done..
