In what has become a familiar pattern, a testing lab called Valisure last month told the Food and Drug Administration that Clearasil and other widely used acne medications contain potentially cancer-causing benzene.
Valisure LLC submitted a Citizen Petition to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration FDA requesting, inter alia, a recall of dry shampoo products containing benzene. Valisure claims to have tested and detected high levels of benzene in certain dry shampoo products.
