Edgewell Personal Care Issues Voluntary Nationwide Recall of Banana Boat Hair & Scalp Sunscreen Due to the Presence of Benzene, one additional lot code ("20301CF") has been added to the recall. The modified announcement follows: Edgewell Personal Care Company (NYSE: EPC) today expanded its voluntary nationwide recall... See More of three batches of Banana Boat Hair & Scalp Sunscreen Spray SPF 30 to the consumer level as outlined below. One additional batch has been added to the original recall announced on July 29, 2022. A review found that some samples of the product contained trace levels of benzene. The products were distributed nationwide in the United States through various retailers and online. To date, Edgewell has not received any adverse events related to this recall.

While benzene is not an ingredient in any Banana Boat products, the review showed that unexpected levels of benzene came from the propellant that sprays the product out of the can. Importantly, no other batches of Hair & Scalp (either before or after these batch codes) and no other Banana Boat products are in the scope of this recall and may continue to be used by consumers safely and as intended.

Benzene is classified as a human carcinogen. Exposure to benzene can occur by inhalation, orally, and through the skin and it potentially can result in cancers including leukemia and blood cancer of the bone marrow and blood disorders which can be life threatening. Benzene is ubiquitous in the environment. Humans around the world have daily exposures to it indoors and outdoors from multiple sources. Daily exposure to benzene in the recalled products would not be expected to cause adverse health consequences according to an independent health assessment using established exposure modeling guidelines.

The voluntarily recalled sunscreen spray products are packaged in aerosol cans. Edgewell has notified its retailers to remove any remaining recalled product from shelves. Banana Boat will also offer reimbursement for consumers who have purchased a product marked with one of the lot codes in the table above. Lot codes are located on the bottom of the can. Consumers should stop using the affected product immediately and appropriately discard.

Consumers should contact their physician or healthcare provider if they have any questions, concerns or have experienced any problems related to using these aerosol sunscreen products.

In case you experienced harm from these products, it is important to report it. It can help to detect & resolve issues and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.

I want to file a complaint with the management about an employee at Fry's that caused me to experience a great deal of stress last evening. I ran into a problem with an employee at the self checkout last evening at Fry's on Greenfield Rd. and Main... See More St. in Mesa, Arizona. I was there at around 9:30PM and picked up three bushels of bananas, a bag of oranges and a bag of avocados. I am profoundly deaf and was wearing my mask at that time. That employee, a young female, approached me, even if I didn't ask for help at all. I used my hand motion to keep her at a distance from me. I am already deeply upset and stressed! See Less

I bought a 4 pack of their Bakery Banana Nut Muffins. I've bought them before, so I didn't have any concerns. On opening my first one, the paper wrapper looked like it had worms on the bottom of it. I'd never seen that before, so I checked... See More the bottom of the muffin, and that had some too. I've thrown the rest away. As I said, I've bought these often and they've never had this, so this isn't normal. At this same location, I had gotten a pack of mini brownies in the flat plastic container and there were plastic pieces baked into the brownies. Had to throw those out too, after there were at least 5 with plastic chips in them. Clearly quality control has gone way down here. See Less
