ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, NJ – Over 20 dry shampoo products have been recalled due to potentially elevated levels of benzene.
Unilever issued a voluntary recall to the consumer level on select aerosol products from Dove, Nexxus, Suave, TIGI (Rockaholic and Bed Head), and TRESemmé produced prior to October 2021.
According to the FDA, “benzene is classified as a human carcinogen. Exposure to benzene can occur by inhalation, orally, and through the skin and it can result in cancers including leukemia and blood cancer of the bone marrow and blood disorders which can be life threatening.”
The recalled products were distributed nationwide. No reports of injuries have been reported as of October 24, 2022.
