Benzene can\u2019t exist at any safe level in sunscreen, according to experts. Recently, Johnson &amp; Johnson recalled certain Neutrogena and Aveeno products, because it was found that they contained benzene. This is not the first question about benzene in Johnson &amp; Johnson sunscreens; in 2021, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.consumerreports.org\/health\/sunscreens\/fda-safety-risks-aveeno-neutrogena-sunscreens-with-benzene-a8377840278\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FDA wrote an internal report<\/a>, a Health Hazard Evaluation, that said that there was danger even when sunscreen contained only low levels of benzene. At that time, Johnson &amp; Johnson sunscreens were among those that contained the carcinogen, and tests had detected levels of benzene that were 5 to 12 times above the recommended limits that two independent organizations had set. If you have been diagnosed with cancer and you used the sunscreens listed below, you may have grounds to bring a product liability lawsuit against Johnson &amp; Johnson. Call the attorneys of Moll Law Group to discuss whether your claim is viable.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Consult Moll Law Group About Benzene in Sunscreen<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Johnson &amp; Johnson Consumer Inc. is voluntarily recalling all lots of five of its products after internal testing found low levels of benzene in product samples. The latest Johnson &amp; Johnson sunscreens to be implicated in benzene sunscreen lawsuits are aerosol Aveeno and Neutrogena products. These include Aveeno Protect + Refresh aerosol sunscreen, Neutrogena Beach Defense aerosol sunscreen, Neutrogena Cool Dry Sport aerosol sunscreen, Neutrogena Invisible Daily defense aerosol sunscreen, and Neutrogena Ultra Sheer<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> aerosol sunscreen. Consumers have been told to stop using these products.<\/p>\n<p>Benzene is a known human carcinogen, a material that can potentially trigger cancer based on how much it\u2019s been used and the consumer&#8217;s exposure levels. The substance is everywhere in the environment and can be absorbed via a person\u2019s skin, as well as orally. Benzene isn\u2019t an ingredient in the Johnson &amp; Johnson sunscreens but has been detected in the products, nonetheless. Johnson &amp; Johnson has stated that daily exposure in the specified aerosol sunscreen products in the low levels found in their testing wouldn\u2019t be expected to result in cancer; for their purposes, the lots have been recalled in order to be cautious.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.molllawgroup.com\/blog\/johnson-johnson-recalls-sunscreen-due-to-presence-of-benzene\/#more-3356\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Even at low levels, benzene is a carcinogen and can increase the risk for blood tissue cancers like lymphoma, myeloma, and leukemia.
