Johnson & Johnson is recalling five brands of sunscreen after low levels of benzene were detected in some samples. The recalled products include Aveeno Protect + Refresh aerosol sunscreen, Neutrogena Beach Defense aerosol sunscreen, Neutrogena CoolDry Sport aerosol sunscreen, Neutrogena Invisible Daily Defense aerosol sunscreen, and Neutrogena UltraSheer aerosol sunscreen.
Repeated exposure to benzene can cause a host of long-term issues, including leukemia, anemia, and complications during pregnancy. Symptoms of exposure include dizziness, stomach irritation, rapid or irregular heartbeat, and drowsiness.
Johnson & Johnson said that the levels found in the sunscreen were unlikely to cause adverse health issues.
The good summer weather is here and it is the time to lay out and get some of that tan skin. While you are laying out you have to make sure you have sunscreen on so you don’t just get a nasty painful burn.
Be careful which sunscreen you are using.
NBC News recently reported that Johnson & Johnson has a major recall on 5 different sunscreens.
The 5 sunscreens being recalled by Johnson & Johnson are:
Aveeno Protect + Refresh aerosol sunscreen
Neutrogena Beach Defense aerosol sunscreen
Neutrogena CoolDry Sport aerosol sunscreen
