Banana Boat aerosol sunscreen sprays have been pulled from shelves after a safety concern was raised with the TGA.
Banana Boat aerosol sunscreen sprays have been pulled from shelves after a safety concern was raised with the Therapeutic Goods Administration.
Three different selections of the popular brand are no longer for sale with manufacturer Edgewell Personal Care revealing “unexpected levels of benzene in some batches”.
“After consultation with the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), and out of an abundance of caution, Edgewell Personal Care is recalling all batches of the (affected) Banana Boat aerosol sunscreen sprays with an expiry date of 31st January 2024 or earlier,” a statement read.
“Product testing identified unexpected levels of benzene in some batches of these aerosol sunscreens. Exposure to benzene in these sunscreen products at the levels detected would not be expected to cause adverse health effects.
“The rest of the Banana Boat sun care portfolio – including lotion and roll-on sunscreens and other aerosol sunscreens are not impacted and continue to be available to consumers.”
Consumers should stop using these products and appropriately dispose of them:
– Banana Boat Ultra Very High Protection Clear Sunscreen Spray SPF 50+
– Banana Boat Simply Protect Kids Very High Protection Sunscreen Lotion Spray SPF 50+
– Banana Boat Dry Balance Very High Protection Clear Sunscreen Spray SPF 50+
Consumers looking for refunds can fill out this form on the product’s website.
