The company said that while exposure to the level of benzene found in their products would likely not pose health risks, they were being recalled “out of an abundance of caution.” People can take in benzene by breathing it in, orally or through the skin, J&J noted. High levels of air exposure of benzene over a long period of time can lead to leukemia. J&J said it was looking into how the substance got inside the product.īenzene is found in crude oil, gasoline and cigarette smoke, and the outdoor air contains generally low levels of it, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). J&J said benzene is not an ingredient used in its products, but “it was detected in some samples of the impacted aerosol sunscreen finished products.” Those products include Neutrogena Beach Defense aerosol sunscreen, Neutrogena Cool Dry Sport aerosol sunscreen, Neutrogena Invisible Daily defense aerosol sunscreen, Neutrogena Ultra Sheer aerosol sunscreen and Aveeno Protect + Refresh aerosol sunscreen. Johnson & Johnson issued a recall on Wednesday for five aerosol sunscreen products after finding low amounts of a substance that could cause cancer with enough exposure.įour Neutrogena products and one Aveeno product were recalled by the company because it found low levels of benzene in product samples. ![]()
