Procter & Gamble valcro straps not on nappies

Good day

My name is Juanita Blignaut. I've baught a Jumbo bag of nappies 58 end of last month at President Hyper at Vaal Triangle, I did not keep the slip because I did not think this problem will happen.

Today when I want to put a nappie on my baby each nappy on left side did not have that valcro on it. If you can refund me for this it would be great. I don't have any pictures of the problem but are sure you do understand what I'm talking about.

Thank You for your time reading my mail.

Thank you so much and have a nice day

Procter & Gamble metamucil

I have been taking your product for about 2 years watch my diet and exercise and I have seen no results that your product reduces cholesterol. This is a falsehood and needs to be stricken from your label, and you should be ashamed of deceiving the public the way you do.

Procter & Gamble aaa batteries

January 5, 2016 I had 4 Duracell AAA batteries installed in an IPhone compatible Withings blood pressure monitor, one of which leaked. I last used the monitor in May, 2015. When I tried to use the monitor last week, it would not activate. I exchanged batteries and it still didn't work. I then noticed that one of the batteries had leaked in the compartment and covered the contact with a white substance. The leak contents apparently compromised the battery contact, which I tried to clean off, and now the monitor no longer works. I would like a replacement. I have tried to contact Duracell via their "guarantee" phone number but it is always busy. Thank you

Procter & Gamble power dissolver

Am not able to find in any markets. Used to purchase at Walmart but they no longer seem to have it. I have checked various markets to no avail. I guess it's another one of those things that if it works take it off the market. it was great for burned on food or even burnt pans. Loved the stuff and was introduced to it by our priest.

Procter & Gamble defective product

I purchased the Febreze Vent clip approximately 6 months ago, and due to its defective (and very cheap) design it leaked and caused major damage to my car dash board. Febreze and PG clearly have notice of this defective product but continue to sell them, as I keep seeing them in the stores. I did some research and saw that there is a class action attorney in San Francisco named Craig Ramsdell (his email listed is [protected]@arilaw.com) who is helping consumers to deal with this issue, since there are others who have the same problem. He seemed like a nice guy, so anyone else who has had this problem may consider contacting him too see if he can help out. Good luck.

This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I really high number of batteries are already dead when I try to use them, even when the expiration date is years into the future. I used to think Duracell was top of the line. Now I avoid them. My recent 8-pack had 5 dead batteries! The 8-pack before that one had 3. I feel cheated, and also anxious because I can't trust Duracell anymore. Failure to find a working battery can mean I can't function in conversation.

Procter & Gamble coppertop aaa batteries - 2 of the batteries are completely leaked

I have had nothing but leaking problems with Duracell Batteries for the past 2-3 years. The latest problem is unbelievable. I purchased a 24 pack of Duracell Coppertop AAA Batteries appx. 6 months ago (stored at room temperature in A/C home). Today when I went to open the pack, 2 of the batteries are COMPLETELY leaked out & oozed over the other ones. Now, this is a Brand New SEALED pack, with an expiration date of 2024! This is the last straw. NEVER again will I purchase Duracell. I have been a faithful customer for over 35 years. The past 2-3 years I have had to complain numerous times with Duracell & Proctor & Gamble as I had almost every item with a Duracell in, leak out. When I complained, I was told I either installed them incorrectly, stored them too high or low temp. etc., anything to make the consumer think he was at fault. I figured over $2000.00 that I spent over 35 years of Duracell purchases! I have had to replace 2 wall clocks (One a very high priced one), 3 radios, a weather radio, 3 good quality Logitech mice (Computer mouse x3!), a weather station, 2 grandkids battery operated toys + much more! They could only send me shipping bags to return them for inspection, 3 times!, after I explained precisely that I had to discard them as they were completely leaked out. NO refund, NO free coupons, NO offer to pay for all the electronic items...nothing. This was the last straw for me. Please look at my downloaded photos. I will not ever allow a Duracell Battery in this house again. I have repeated this to hundreds of friends, relatives & business clients & each one has almost the same problem. I do not understand how a company can produce an excellent product for so many years & then completely reverse it's quality and image!

I too am looking for this product everywhere, but to no avail. This is my favorite product. I found this and it worked just as it said it would. Who knew truth in advertising was still alive. It seems lately I find a great product and sure enough it is discontinued in a few months. Please guide me to a place in which I can purchase it. Thanks much gail [protected]@roadrunner.com

I am Andrew Alberts. I recently interviewed for a Shave Care Research Support Technician job, one I have done previously about 2 years ago. The job entailed doing the same thing I did back then, so naturally I was optimistic about my chances. Big mistake that was. I believe that job was stolen from me and I want the decision to reject me reversed.

This certain type of Fixodent with the accurate tip gets clogged continuously. Have to stick a tooth pick in to get denture cream to come out and then it is hard as a rock. Some changes should be made to the top of the tube. I have been using the Original Fixodent for over 30 years and have never had a problem like this.

Thank you,

I've been using the mouthwash for a month now, I've been experiencing an illness, I've been nausea, dizzy, eyes blurry, I've had abdominal pain and back pain, I am the only 1 in a household of 7 that got sick, no 1 else used the mouthwash but me, so I stopped using it, in 24 hrs, I already started to recover. I still have the product in question.

Procter & Gamble bottoms popping off sounded like a fire cracker.

I have had 3, 9 volt batteries, have there bottoms pop off. It sounds like a cap gun or a firer cracker going off. This last one popped off while it was sitting on my desk, the bottom square piece of metal hit me in the chest. What I want to know is should I get rid of all my 9 volt Duracell batteries for safety reasons. And what is the company going to do to make this right, some or even my self could lose a eye, I don't even know wear the other piece went too. P.S they are not around any heat source when this happened. Like I said it was sitting on my desk, it happen right in front of me.
Thank you for your time.

They are likely counterfeit Get the UPC code, go to pampers web site and verify if they are real and let them know where you bought them. Then search to report counterfeit goods as well.

Procter & Gamble very frequent leaking batteries

I was always a big admirer of the Duracell. I always prefer to buy these expensive batteries over the cheap ones, just for the simple reason that they are long living and has some reputation of LEAK-PROOF.
I noticed first leak in the sealed pack itself. They were AAA batteries.
Then I saw leak in my remote AC. But I thought that because it was in basement and the conditions are a little harsh, may be thats why they leaked. But mind it that we use that remote almost 3-4 days a week.
Third instance I noticed them leak made me fume. I am watching my TV almost 350 days an year. Hardly few days are left without using my Plasma remote. One day the remote stopped working. To my surprise when I opened, the batteries in that remote were leaked completely. I have attached the picture of the same.
I really don't have any idea to how to sue these guys. The touch of the smart remote is now completely gone and is un-repairable. It will cost me ˆ5000.00 for that remote.
If anyone there is reading these complaints, I would like to request you to please take action and get me a compensation from them, so that they learn a lesson and do not put this crap in the market. It's a hard earned money with lot of difficulty, it hurts a lot.
regards

Procter & Gamble leaking hearing aid batteries

I bought a 16 count package of Duracell 312 hearing aid batteries. So far, 7 out of 11 of them have quit working in 2 - 3 days. And they are leaking! I called the customer service phone number only to be told that it wasn't "battery acid" and they would send me a coupon for replacements. The $10 off coupon didn't cover the cost and who wants to use more of a product they don't trust. I'm afraid that these leaking batteries will ruin my $$$expensive hearing aids.

Procter & Gamble AA & AAA batteries

This is to inform you that the "duracell batteries" "aa" "aaa" "d" in the past three years has caused great damage to the devices that I installed the batteries into. This "battery leadage" I thought was just a temporary manufacture discrepancy. However, in purchasing the above mentioned batteries at different locations and at different dates through the last couple of years the situation did not improve. The above mentioned batteries were still causing damage to the devices I used them in. So of course I went to another name brand of batteries and haven't had any damages. I even used the same type of batteries from "dollar tree" which is at very low cost and the battery would go dead and "no leakage" this is a shame "a no name battery is used at a very low price" and causes no problems. I went online and found many other similar complaint dating back to 2010, I would have thought there would have been an investigation, etc. To correct the problem and to reestablish "good customer service" obviously that is not important to duracell! I will be informing everyone I come in contact with, by any means possible, to get this information of "poor product manufacturing and very unconcerned customer service" I would imagine by the company I am sending this complait through is just a go between to detour these complaints so duracell can claim they had "no idea of these complaints" disappointed consumer

Over the past two years I have had numerous electronic products damaged caused from leaking Duracell batteries. I have used Duracell for many years but I no longer can afford to use them due to the cost of repairs and in most cases replacement of destroyed equipment. Duracell where is your quality? Nothing but problems with these batteries.

I've had many devices damaged my leaking Duracell batteries. I have to throw away a Grundig radio, an answering machine, multiple flashlights and several other things due to the batteries leaking and eating away the battery contacts. The acid leaked into my Grundig radio and destroyed it. Several of my friends had the same problem. I pointed out that they were Duracell batteries. I no longer buy Duracell and advise my friends no to either. Duracell needs to fix the problem.

Procter & Gamble not near as good as your previous bra

I've been buying sam's batterries for yrs. since you changed to the duracell i've noticed they don't have power or the lasting cranking power of the old Champions you use to sell. don't know why you change a good thing. Golf carts you better be close to the shop when the gauge moves at all and i just changed my 5 yr old batteries in one of my large trucks preparing for winter, tempted to put the old ones back in. Looking for a new battery supplier. l Disapointed Larry Sanger

Procter & Gamble leakage

WARNING for all Duracell batteries from AAA to D size. I have purged my entire electronic equipment of all duracell batteries. They now destroyed another piece of equipment through the failure of leakage. Even prior to the expiration date on the side. I've lost an expensive Nikon SB Flash to quality flashlights to clocks. They don't seem to be able keep their chemicals inside and the leakeage has destroyed my hard earned equipment and electronics. Their failure rate is extremely high compared to the other brands. What seems to be the problem? The part everyone will encounter is the equipment that isn't used everyday and has been sitting around in a normal enviroment waiting to used. No more "Copper Tops" and leaky bottoms for me.

Just came looking for other peoples comments as I've just found yet another product destroyed by Duracell. Batteries still got charge, but leaked out and corroded the terminals in what was by best LCD clock. I've lost countless other devices in the past mostly non-replicable items. I won't be buying Duracell ever again, and looking to get compensation from Duracell for the damage.
