A Cancer-Causing Chemical Found In Major Sunscreens

Benzene, A Cancer-Causing Chemical, Found In Major Sunscreens

including Johnson & Johnson's Neutrogena and Aveeno

1-800-LAW-FIRM is investigating claims on behalf of consumers who bought recalled benzene-tainted sunscreen products made by Johnson & Johnson subsidiaries Neutrogena and Aveeno.

An analysis by independent lab Valisure found alarming concentrations of benzene in at least 78 sun care products made by Neutrogena, CVS Health, Banana Boat and other manufacturers.

More than seven weeks after Valisure lab results were published, Johnson & Johnson announced a recall of five spray products and ordered retailers to stop selling Neutrogena’s sunscreens labeled Beach Defense, Cool Dry Sport, Invisible Daily, Ultra Sheer and Aveeno Protect + Refresh.

While Valisure found benzene in both aerosol and lotion products, J&J’s voluntary recall is limited to spray products.

If you purchased sunscreen from Neutrogena or Aveeno that contained benzene, you may be able to join a FREE sunscreen cancer lawsuit investigation.

Some Neutrogena products contained benzene amounts of more than 6 ppm, according to Valisure.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML)

What Can I Do If I Developed Cancer?
