Everything You Need To Know About $2.3M Coppertone Sunscreen Settlement

Bayer HealthCare and Beiersdorf paid $2.3 million to settle Coppertone sunscreen cancer allegations. The settlement doesn’t need evidence of purchase. If you get a blood cancer like chronic lymphocytic leukaemia or acute lymphocytic leukaemia after using benzene-containing sunscreens that were recalled, you might be able to receive compensation.

Independent lab Valisure conducte testst and found benzene in dozens of sunscreen and after-sun products. Coppertone randomly tested their aerosol sunscreens after Valisure’s findings. It found benzene in certain aerosol sunscreens, prompting a recall.
Aerosol sunscreen sprays are frequently preferred to traditional sunscreen lotions because they are more convenient and less oily. Instead of using a bottle or tube, it is much more convenient and easy to apply spray.

Coppertone hasn’t admitted guilt but has settled for $2.3 million.

Unfortunately, benzene, a carcinogen found in these aerosol sunscreen sprays, has been linked to several companies’ being sued. In addition to Coppertone, a popular brand owned by Beiersdorf, Aveeno, and Neutrogena were also involved in a widespread recall.

• In a class action lawsuit, it is said that Coppertone misled customers by labelling its products as “healthy,” “safe,” “natural,” and “simple,” when they actually contain benzene.

• Class members with purchase receipts are eligible for full reimbursements, while others can claim the average retail price for up to six products per family.
