Summer is in full effect which means sunscreen use is at its’ yearly high but there are some extra concerns about the type and brand that people need to be aware of. Pharmaceutical juggernaut Johnson & Johnson recently recalled a range of their spray sunscreen brands out of concern over a benzene contamination, according to a company announcement.

Johnson & Johnson Spray Sunscreen Recall

Wall Street Journal reports the details of the J&J spray sunscreen recall:  “J&J said Wednesday that consumers should stop using and discard using five of its six Neutrogena and Aveeno spray sunscreens. J&J did not say how many bottles were effected or what exactly the levels were.” The recalled spray bottles are:

• Neutrogena Beach Defense
• Neutrogena Cool Dry Sport
• Neutrogena Invisible Dry Daily
• Neutrogena Ultra Sheer
• Aveeno Protect + Refresh

Sunscreen Personal Injury Lawsuits

Benzene, the ingredient found in these J&J spray sunscreens is known to cause leukemia. A highly regulated industry, the fact that these bottles made it to the shelves opens them up to major liability if someone is injured of killed because they used these dangerous spray sunscreens.

Product liability lawsuits hold companies like Johnson and Johnson responsible for putting a dangerous product on the market and this is not the first time that Johnson & Johnson has been held liable to selling cancer-causing products. We help clients with J&J baby powder lawsuits as well as DePuy defective hips, to name a couple.
