Johnson & Johnson Sunscreen Recall

Johnson & Johnson has issued a recall for five of its sunscreen products after some samples were found to contain low levels of benzene, which is a highly flammable, widely used chemical that can cause cancer with repeated exposure at high enough levels.

The products in this recall are all packaged in aerosol cans, they are Aveeno Protect + Refresh , and four Neutrogena sunscreen versions: Beach Defense , CoolDry Sport , Invisible Daily Defense and UltraSheer. Those are all aerosol can sunscreens. The recall is for all can sizes and all levels of sun protection factor….known commonly as SPF.

Johnson & Johnson says if you have any of these products you should stop using them immediately. You can get a refund for that product by calling J&J’s Consumer Care Center at 1-800-458-1673.
