Banana Boat Sunscreen Recalled due to Cancer Risk Benzene, Cancer Sunscreen #shorts

A product intended to prevent skin cancer has been discovered to contain a known cancer causing chemical called benzene.

A popular sunscreen, Banana Boat, has issued a voluntary recall for the product Banana Boat Hair and Scalp Spray SPF 30 due to the presence of a known carcinogen called benzene. The manufacturer, Edgewater Personal Care, detected the presence of this chemical during its own internal audits.

Benzene is a dangerous, volatile and toxic liquid hydrocarbon that is not intended for human use. Long term exposure to benzene is potentially life threatening and could result in cancers including leukemia, bone marrow cancer and other blood disorders.

Although Benzene is not an ingredient in any product manufactured by Banana Boat it is part of the propellant that sprays the sunscreen out of the can. Small amounts of benzene can be found in plastics, detergents, tobacco smoke, motor vehicle exhaust and industrial emissions.

If you use Banana Boat Products look for the following batch numbers 20016AF, 20084BF and 21139AF and stop using it if you have any concerns.

Good Luck and Good Chemistry!
