St. Louis, August 2, 2022 - In response to a voluntary product recall by Edgewell Personal Care Company, Dierbergs Markets has removed the following lots of aerosol sunscreen spray from its shelves due to the possible presence of benzene, which is classified as a carcinogen:
Banana Boat Hair & Scalp Sunscreen Spray SPF 30, 6 oz.
UPC: 0-79656-04041-8
Expiration Date: December 2022 (Lot Code 20016AF), February 2023 (Lot Code 20084BF) and April 2024 (Lot Code 21139AF)
Though benzene is not an ingredient in Banana Boat products, it was detected in certain samples due to the propellant that sprays the product out of the can. No other batches of Hair & Scalp (either before or after these batch codes) and no other Banana Boat products are part of this recall and may continue to be used safely and as intended.
Customers may return the affected product to any Dierbergs for a full refund.
