"Multiple users of the popular Mitchum deodorant say they have been left with painful rashes and burns under their arms, which have taken weeks to heal. Several people have taken to social media to share photos of the irritations that they say appeared after using the 48-hour roll-on, with the company now pulling affected batches from sale. One user took to TikTok to ask if anyone else's armpits have been viciously attacked?"

"Mitchum has claimed that batches from eight of its products, which are sold across the UK, Ireland and South Africa, were affected by a change to the manufacturing process. The company apologised via a statement on Instagram, saying: We are sorry to those who were impacted and for the time it took to complete our investigation. While the formula hasn't changed, a change in the manufacturing process of one of our raw materials altered how the product interacts with the skin in some consumers."
