Johnson & & Johnson is remembering many of its Neutrogena and Aveeno spray sun blocks from U.S. shops after finding benzene, a potentially cancer-causing chemical, in some samples.
J&J stated Wednesday customers ought to stop utilizing and dispose of 5 of its six Neutrogena and Aveeno spray sunscreens. The company said it is also alerting sellers and suppliers to stop selling the products, and scheduling the return of the products.
A company spokesperson stated the effort would include getting rid of items from racks.
The New Brunswick, N.J., business stated it doesnt use benzene in the production of the spray sun blocks and is investigating the reason for the contamination. The company is in touch with regulatory firms in other countries about the problem, the spokesperson said.
J&J, among the worlds most significant sellers of consumer-health items by sales, didnt state the number of bottles were affected and what the specific benzene levels were, though J&J stated the levels were low and not anticipated to trigger health problems.
