Benzene is classified as a human carcinogen, which, through exposure, could potentially lead to cancer, according to the FDA. “While benzene is not an ingredient in any Banana Boat products, the review indicated that unexpected levels of benzene came from the propellant that sprays the product out of the can,” the company said in a statement. Consumers in possession of the recalled sunscreen should stop using the product and dispose of it immediately. Edgewell Personal Care Company has notified retailers to remove remaining aerosol cans from their shelves. Banana Boat is offering compensation to consumers who purchased the recalled product. Any adverse reactions that may occur with the use of the sunscreen can be reported to the FDA either online or by regular mail.
