Sunscreen Lawsuit List

A benzene sunscreen lawsuit was filed in Florida on May 25, 2021, just one day after Valisure’s citizen petition was filed with the FDA. The lawsuit claims that Johnson & Johnson broke federal and state laws by not listing benzene as an ingredient on the sunscreens’ labels.

A similar Aveeno and Neutrogena sunscreen lawsuit was filed on July 14, 2021 in California.

Can Oxybenzone Cause Cancer?

The common sunscreen ingredient oxybenzone was linked to carcinogenic activity by a National Toxicology Program rat study. Oxybenzone behaves like an endocrine disruptor and causes allergic skin reactions, according to Environmental Working Group.

Does Octocrylene Cause Cancer?

A study published in March 2021 found that the common sunscreen ingredient octocrylene degrades into benzophenone over time as commercial sunscreens age. 2,999 SPF products in the United States contained octocrylene in 2019, according to the study.

Benzophenone is listed as a carcinogen under California’s Proposition 65.
