(Reuters) -Pharmacy chains CVS Health, Walgreens Boots Alliance and retailer Walmart Inc began pulling Johnson & Johnson s sunscreen products off their shelves after J&J said it had detected a cancer-causing chemical in some samples.
Pharmaceutical and consumer goods company J&J on Wednesday voluntarily recalled five Neutrogena and Aveeno brand aerosol sunscreens and advised consumers to stop using the products and discard them after internal testing found low levels of benzene in some sprays.
The recall comes two months after online pharmacy Valisure filed a petition with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), saying it had found levels of benzene that were higher than recommended in over a dozen products that provide protection or relief against sunburns, including sprays and lotions.
