Sunscreen spray recalled for cancer risk...
Huh? Sunscreen is supposed to prevent cancer from exposure to the sun. In this case, it's trace amounts of benzene, a chemical which can cause cancer with repeated exposure.On weekends, I'm in the sun on and off for hours and stopped using sunscreen because I was getting red blotches on my skin. There could be a correlation.
Recently, Banana Boat Hair and Scalp Spray SPF 30 was pulled from shelves.
"This recall comes a little over a year after Johnson & Johnson recalled five sunscreens because they were found to contain benzene. That recall included Aveeno and Neutrogena products in aerosol cans."
The first reader comment:
How many years was benzene used in these products before?

Thanks for information. It is wise to read ingredients. Aluminium and led is in many cheaper products.
