For years, medical professionals have been urging Americans to wear plenty of sunscreen, and the need for sun protections is absolutely critical in South Florida. However, recent findings by a pharmaceutical industry research group have revealed that those who slather on SPF could be at risk of developing cancer. Valisure, a company dedicated to protecting consumers through transparency and accountability, announced that many of the familiar sunscreen brands you rely on for sun protection contain benzene. This substance is recognized by many leading authorities as being carcinogenic and the cause of many other health problems.

Unfortunately, despite Valisure’s discovery of benzene and warnings to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), no official action has been taken regarding dangerous sunscreen and after-sun products. You may still have rights under Florida law, and a Miami dangerous products attorney can explain in more detail. Some background on the dangers and legal concepts may also be useful.

Additional Details on Benzene in Sunscreen

Most manufacturers would take immediate action after their defective products attract the attention of the federal government, especially after several fatal and injury-causing accidents. However, the makers of Peloton treadmills took the unusual step of defying officials until recently. The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued its first urgent warning regarding the company’s Tread and Tread+ models on April 17, 2021; Peloton initially refused to voluntarily recall the defective products, and only did so a month later after intense negative publicity.

The recall is crucial for preventing additional accidents, but the harm is already done for those who suffered injuries from defective Peloton treadmills. Victims may have a claim against any company that manufacturers dangerous products, and a Miami products liability attorney can explain in more detail. However, some additional information about the recent CPSC action may be helpful.
