Waterless Dry Conditioner Weightless Smooth (3.6 oz) with UPC 37000543954 with a production code in the range of 0002-0248 or 9298-9350.(JNJ) recalled some spray-on Neutrogena and Aveeno sunscreens after it detected low levels of the carcinogen in the products. In November, P&G issued a similar recall for more than a dozen Old Spice and Secret-branded aerosol deodorants and sprays, warning that the products could contain also benzene. P&G added that no other products from those lines are in the “scope of this recall and such other products may continue to be used as intended, including those aerosol dry shampoo spray products with production code ranges different from those specifically communicated.” The Food and Drug Administration has been alerted of this recall, the agency said. The company is offering full refunds, and customers can fill out an online form or contact a hotline at 1-889 Monday through Friday from 9 am to 6 pm ET. P&G wants people who purchased the affected products, which were sold in stores across the United States as well as online, to throw them away. Retailers have been told to remove the recalled products from shelves. “Exposure to benzene can occur by inhalation, orally, and through the skin and it can result in cancers, including leukemia and blood cancer of the bone marrow and blood disorders which can be life-threatening,” the recall notice said. However, the company noted it has not “received any reports of adverse events,” but it’s moving forward with the recall out of “an abundance of caution.” P&G said in a statement that the affected products likely will not expose people to levels of benzene high enough to cause health issues.
