• The Gillette Company LLC, in conjunction with the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), has recalled its Venus Simply3 Disposable razors. According to the company, which is part of Procter & Gamble, a problem during manufacturing resulted in the misalignment of the blades in the razors, posing a higher risk of cuts during normal use. Approximately 87,000 units were involved in the recall. In addition, approximately 2,700 were sold in Canada.  

The recall involves Venus Simply3 disposable razors. The razors come in pink, purple, and yellow colors and were sold in two types of packages: a Venus Simply3 Disposable Razor 4-pack and a Daisy 12+1 Venus Simply3 Bonus Pack which included one free Venus Simply3 razor.
