What about this
**Yes, Neutrogena (owned by Johnson & Johnson) faced recalls and related lawsuits starting in 2021 over benzene contamination in certain aerosol sunscreen products.** Benzene is a known human carcinogen linked to leukemia and other blood cancers.
### Key Details
- **The Issue**: In 2021, independent lab testing (by Valisure) detected benzene in various sunscreen sprays. Johnson & Johnson voluntarily recalled five aerosol products on July 14, 2021, after finding low-to-elevated levels of benzene (a chemical not supposed to be in the formulas and not listed on labels).
- Affected Neutrogena products included: Invisible Daily Defense, Beach Defense, Cool Dry Sport, and Ultra Sheer aerosol sunscreens (plus one Aveeno product).
- **Lawsuits**: This led to consumer class actions and personal injury lawsuits against Johnson & Johnson/Neutrogena. Claims generally involve:
- Failure to warn about benzene.
- Consumer fraud (products marketed as safe but containing a cancer-causing chemical).
- Potential links to cancers like leukemia in long-term users.
Some cases have been consolidated (e.g., into multidistrict litigation in California), and law firms are still accepting claims years later for people who developed related cancers.
- **Context on Benzene**: No safe exposure level exists according to health authorities, though the detected amounts varied. The recall was precautionary, and not every user developed cancerโlawsuits focus on elevated risk and specific diagnoses.
This was not about other common sunscreen ingredients like oxybenzone (which has faced separate regulatory scrutiny for environmental/hormonal concerns but not widespread cancer lawsuits like this). The benzene issue was specific to contamination in aerosol formulations around that time.
If you used these products and have health concerns, consult a doctor and consider speaking with a lawyer handling these cases for personalized advice.
Chicago Democrats Just FUMBLED an Entire NFL Team to Indiana.
100 Years of History Gone. Running a City This Badly Isnโt an Accident.
Indiana is getting a brand new Bears stadium.
And Chicago gets to keep its crime, its taxes, and its $400M taxpayer funded Obama DEI trash can nobody asked for.
This is what decades of Democrat mismanagement does.
Businesses leave.
Teams leave.
People leave.
They'll blame everyone but themselves.
Indiana wins. Chicago loses. Again.
A while back, I read a message about veterans. In it, I found what I believe to be one of the best explanations of what the title โveteranโ really means to the United States. This Memorial Day, I wanted to share it with you all.
