Sunscreen Recall

Johnson & Johnson has issued a voluntary recall of several aerosol sunscreens due to detecting benzene, a human carcinogen, in the products. Johnson & Johnson has stated that exposure to benzene in these sunscreen products at the levels detected would not be expected to cause health problems, but has issued the recall out of an abundance of caution. Continued use of alternative sunscreens is still an extremely important part of sun protection and skin cancer protection.
