Have you been exposed to benzene in sunscreen and diagnosed with cancer? You may qualify for a benzene lawsuit. Action Legal Group can help you to see if you are entitled to some financial compensation.

But first, what is Benzene exactly?

Benzene

Benzene is a toxic chemical and a known carcinogen. A carcinogen is a substance capable of causing cancer in living tissue. Ultimately, benzene is a horrible chemical that has been in many kinds of sunscreen.

In May 2021, a lab detected high levels in several different brands and sun products. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, it is known to cause cancer in humans. 27% of the samples tested by Valisure, contained detectable benzene. Valisure is an independent lab that discovered benzene in sunscreens.

All of these products were recalled in July 2021 and are aerosol sprays.
