“#J&J recalls Aveeno, Neutrogena sunscreens over cancer risk<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

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.<\/p>\n

The company said<\/a> customers should stop using the affected products, which were distributed through stores nationwide. <\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Benzene, 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. <\/p>\n

The pharmaceutical giant said it\u2019s investigating how the chemical might have gotten into some of its products. <\/p>\n

\u201cDaily exposure to benzene in these aerosol sunscreen products at the levels detected in our testing would not be expected to cause adverse health consequences,\u201d Johnson & Johnson said in a statement Wednesday. \u201cOut of an abundance of caution, we are recalling all lots of these specific aerosol sunscreen products.\u201d<\/p>\n

J&J noted that the recall is voluntary and said it has notified the Food and Drug Administration of the recall.<\/p>\n

The company said it\u2019s working to pull all lots of the five products from shelves across the country. <\/p>\n

It added that customers can get a refund by calling J&J\u2019s Consumer Care Center at 1-800-458-1673.<\/p>\n

The announcement is the latest black mark for the company\u2019s consumer unit, which has faced thousands of lawsuits in recent years alleging that its iconic talc-based baby powder is laced with asbestos and causes cancer or mesothelioma.<\/p>\n

The company last year halted sales of the product and has recently socked away $3.9 billion to help cover the costs of the lawsuits. <\/p>\n

Last month, the US Supreme Court rejected Johnson & Johnson\u2019s bid to overturn a $2.1 billion verdict against it in favor of women who said the company\u2019s talc products played a role in their developing ovarian cancer.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
