Batches of a Banana Boat sunscreen product are being voluntarily recalled due to traces of benzene, a known human carcinogen, according to a release from the Food and Drug Administration, Fox8.com reports.

UPC DESCRIPTION Lot Code Expiration Size
0-79656-04041-8 Banana Boat Hair & Scalp Spray SPF 30 20016AF December 2022 6 oz
0-79656-04041-8 Banana Boat Hair & Scalp Spray SPF 30 20084BF February 2023 6 oz
0-79656-04041-8 Banana Boat Hair & Scalp Spray SPF 30 21139AF April 2024 6 oz

The release says that while benzene is not an ingredient in any Banana Boat products, “an internal review found that some samples of the product contained trace levels of benzene.”

 

The FDA says that no other batches of Hair & Scalp, either before or after the batch codes listed above, and no other Banana Boat products are part of Friday’s recall.

  1. If sunscreen prevents cancer, why does the US have a higher instance of Melanoma than ANY country in South America? They have more sun exposure & less sunscreen.

    Just think about it…
