J&J noted that the recall is voluntary and said it has notified the Food and Drug Administration of the recall. “Out of an abundance of caution, we are recalling all lots of these specific aerosol sunscreen products.” “Daily exposure to benzene in these aerosol sunscreen products at the levels detected in our testing would not be expected to cause adverse health consequences,” Johnson & Johnson said in a statement Wednesday. Johnson & Johnson found low levels of benzene, a cancer-causing chemical, in some samples of its sunscreen.
The pharmaceutical giant said it’s investigating how the chemical might have gotten into some of its products. The recall covers the Aveeno Protect + Refresh aerosol sunscreen, and four Neutrogena sunscreens: Beach Defense aerosol sunscreen, CoolDry Sport aerosol sunscreen, Invisible Daily Defense aerosol sunscreen and UltraSheer aerosol sunscreen.īenzene, which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says can cause leukemia or other cancers after long-term exposure to high levels, is not an ingredient in the affected sunscreens, J&J noted. The company said customers should stop using the affected products, which were distributed through stores nationwide. Johnson & Johnson is recalling five of its Neutrogena and Aveeno spray sunscreens after the company found low levels of benzene, a cancer-causing chemical, in some samples.
