Pa. school asks students to ax body spray

BETHLEHEM, Pa. -- A Pennsylvania high school wants its students to cut back on the body spray.

Freedom High School in Bethlehem says one of its students was recently taken to a hospital after being exposed to Axe Body Spray. Officials are asking students to stop using it as a cologne or fragrance while attending the school.

A spokesperson for Unilever, which makes Axe, said the company is looking into the report. The safety and well-being of users "is always our first priority" and consumers with concerns should call the toll-free number on the back of the package, a company statement said.

School officials said the affected student is severely allergic to the spray. It wasn't immediately clear what type of reaction the student had or what chemical might have been involved.
