Johnson & Johnson Issues Recall of Neutrogena, Aveeno Sunscreens
Calendar icon July 15, 2021 | Reading Time: 2 min

Johnson & Johnson Consumer Inc has issued a voluntary recall of 5 Neutrogena and Aveeno aerosol sunscreens after some products were found to have trace levels of benzene, a chemical that can cause cancer with repeated exposure.

The healthcare giant claims that while benzene is not an ingredient in any of their sunscreen products, it was detected in some samples of their finished aerosol sunscreen products. The affected products are as follows:

  • Neutrogena Beach Defense® aerosol sunscreen
  • Neutrogena Cool Dry Sport aerosol sunscreen
  • Neutrogena Invisible Daily™ defense aerosol sunscreen
  • Neutrogena Ultra Sheer® aerosol sunscreen
  • Aveeno Protect + Refresh aerosol sunscreen.

Johnson & Johnson said they are working to actively remove the products from all retailer shelves nationwide. They have urged consumers to stop using the affected products immediately and discard them. For questions or to request a refund, Johnson & Johnson is asking consumers to contact the JJCI Customer Care Center by calling 1-800-458-1673. More product information can be found on the Neutrogena and Aveeno websites.

Cellino Law has extensive experience litigating against Johnson & Johnson on behalf of injured consumers including those suffering from ovarian cancer following exposure to Johnson & Johnson Baby Powder and Johnson & Johnson Shower to Shower, which have been shown by independent testing to have been contaminated with cancer-causing asbestos.

If you have been exposed to any of the affected Neutrogena or Aveeno products and have developed cancer as a result, you may be entitled to compensation. Contact Cellino Law today for your free case evaluation.

  • I highly recommend Cellino Law to anyone involved in a car crash. I worked with Michael Lovecchio, and had a wonderful experience given the circumstances. He was very attentive, and got the best possible outcome I could have wanted.

  • Choosing the right attorney to represent you after an accident can make all the difference. This is no cliche. I recently experienced these words to live by first hand. After a tractor trailer rear ended me at high speed in 2017 I retained Allan Silverstein to handle my case. I quickly realized that bringing a lawsuit rapidly snowballs into a mountain of details that can make or break your results. Documents, case histories, doctor visits, bills, and lots of phone calls all need to be accurately kept track of if a successful outcome it to be attained. To complicate matters I reside in New York and the incident took place in New Jersey. Luckily, Allan was licensed in multiple states. I was fortunate to find Allan to handle this matter from the New York area. Armed with an accurate account of the facts Allan went to work on the difficult job of negotiating with the defending insurance company as well as my no fault carrier in order to obtain the best possible outcome for my set of circumstances. In a lawsuit communication is key and and events can be of a timely nature. Allan never failed to return my calls - usually the same day! He fought skillfully and respectfully to get me the best possible settlement. He is easy to deal with and a likeable down to earth guy. He always listened with compassion and respect to my issues. He guided me with objective understanding as well as a realistic analysis of the merits of my case. When we finally settled Allan got me a fair agreement beyond my expectations and negotiated with my doctors to make sure all my bills were paid. It was a great experience having Allan represent me. Quality work in any aspect of life is hard to find. Quality is what I got with Allan Silverstein. I highly recommend him if you find yourself in need of a personal injury attorney.
