Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals Inc. is recalling more than 44,302,392 cans of Lotrimin AF and Tinactin aerosol spray products, including deodorant powder, jock itch, and liquid sprays. This recall was initiated after some products were found to contain benzene, a known human carcinogen, or were manufactured at a facility with existing contamination issues. No injuries or illnesses have been reported. These products were sold nationwide through retail stores and online channels across the United States, Puerto Rico, Canada, and Mexico.
Benzene is classified as a human carcinogen, and exposure can occur through inhalation, orally, and through the skin. Long-term exposure to benzene can potentially lead to life-threatening cancers, such as leukemia, and other blood disorders.
