Our Firm Has Filed Several Class-Action Lawsuits Against Manufacturers of Contaminated Sunscreen Products.<\/span><\/h2>\n

In 2001, an independent pharmacy found elevated levels of a cancer-causing chemical called benzene in several sunscreen brands, including Neutrogena and Banana Boat. Out of nearly 300 different sunscreens tested, 27% contained benzene. In 2022, the multi-district litigation court granted preliminary approval of a nationwide class action settlement in the Neutrogena litigation. A nationwide class action suit has also been filed against Banana Boat.<\/span><\/p>\n

Exposure to unsafe levels of benzene increases the risk of developing <\/span>leukemia<\/span><\/a> and other blood disorders. \u2013National Cancer Institute<\/span><\/p>\n

What is Benzene?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Benzene is a chemical that is a colorless or light yellow liquid at room temperature. It has a sweet odor and is highly flammable.<\/span><\/p>\n

Benzene evaporates into the air very quickly. Its vapor is heavier than air and may sink into low-lying areas.<\/span><\/p>\n

Benzene dissolves only slightly in water and will float on top of water.<\/span><\/p>\n
