Products recalled due to elevated levels of benzene.

You may need to pick up another brand of sunscreen for the summer.

Johnson & Johnson is recalling all lots of Neutrogena Beach Defense and Ultra Sheer aerosol spray sunscreens.

Health Canada recommends broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher.
