 Johnson & Johnson Reminds 5 Aerosol Sun Screens After Acquiring Carcinogen Tracks

Johnson & Johnson announced Wednesday that the company remembers its five aerosol sunscreen products due to the discovery of benzene, carcinogen, in some samples.

The company said consumers should stop using contaminated guns, which only include Neutrogena and Aveeno aerosol products. The commemoration covers all canopy sizes and SPF standards, which are distributed nationwide.

Some products that are remembered are:

NEUTROGENA Beach Protection aerosol sunscreen

NEUTROGENA Cool Dry Sport is an aerosol sunscreen

NEUTROGENA Not so obvious every day is aerosol sunscreen protection

NEUTROGENA Ultra Sheer is a solar screen aerosol

AVEENO Protect + Restart solar screen aerosol.

Benzene is not an ingredient used in sunscreen screens. The company said it was reviewing the possibility of the chemical entering certain samples.

Prolonged exposure to high levels of benzene, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, can cause leukemia or other cancers.

"Daily exposure to benzene in these aerosol-enhanced aerosol products at levels found in our tests will not be expected to have adverse health effects," Johnson & Johnson said in a statement Wednesday. "With great caution, we remember all of these specific aerosol-protective products."

The company urged consumers to immediately stop using these solar panels, dispose of the affected products, and take other sun protection measures.
