Johnson & Johnson has issued a recall for five sunscreens after finding a substance in them that could cause cancer.
Low levels of benzene were discovered in the samples of four Neutrogena products and one Aveeno product.
The aerosol sunscreens include Neutrogena Beach Defense, Neutrogena Cool Dry Sport, Neutrogena Invisible Daily Defense, Neutrogena Ultra Sheer, and Aveeno Protect + Refresh.
Johnson & Johnson said benzene is not an ingredient used in its products and officials are looking into how it got in the sunscreens.
