About this deal

This is obviously a prevalent problem for a variety of manufacturers and a variety of brands," Light says, adding that the FDA will most likely issue a recall for more batches than Valisure requested, simply because it only had so many resources to run initial tests.

The Neutrogena ® Norwegian Formula range was inspired by the harsh climate of Scandinavia and provides solutions for dry and chapped skin on both hand and body.

The findings are detailed in Valisure's May 24 petition to the Food and Drug Administration to recall the product lots that contain dangerous amounts of benzene. Benzene, an industrial chemical normally found in crude oil and cigarette smoke that can also be used in manufacturing plastic and pesticides, is a known human carcinogen that can cause harm with long-term exposure, which is exposure for more than one year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The continued importance of sunscreen shouldn't be understated, and Valisure's suggestion that some sun care products have been contaminated doesn't undermine sunscreen's role in protecting you against sunburn, skin cancer and early skin aging. The FDA states it regulates sunscreenas a drug because the active ingredients in it make a drug claim -- "to help prevent sunburn or to decrease the risks of skin cancer and early skin aging caused by the sun." Neutrogena ® T/Gel ® everyday range of shampoos are specially designed to help clear your dandruff from first use, and with daily use go on working to keep your scalp flake-free. In a statement to CNET, a representative from the FDA said the agency "takes seriously any safety concerns raised about products we regulate, including sunscreen. While the agency evaluates the submitted citizen petition, we will continue to monitor the sunscreen marketplace and manufacturing efforts to help ensure the availability of safe sunscreens for US consumers." In this case it really seems to be a manufacturing contaminant problem, not an inherent problem with sunscreen," Light says. "People should still continue to use sunscreen, I think, is an important message to get across."

In total, 294 sun care product lots were tested from 69 brands. The following brands made sun products (sprays, lotions, gels, etc.) that have lot numbers Valisure is asking the FDA to recall: Neutrogena, Sun Bum, CVS Health, Fruit of the Earth, Raw Elements, SunBurnt, Goodsense, Banana Boat, TopCare Everyday and EltaMD. Leukemia (cancer of blood-forming organs), anemia (a decrease in red blood cells), excessive bleeding and decreased ovary size have all been linked to long-term benzene exposure, according to information from the CDC and Department of Health and Human Services.
