Unilever United States Inc. has recalled all lots of Suave 24-Hour Protection Aerosol Antiperspirant in Powder and Fresh scents with an expiration date of September 30, 2023. These over-the-counter products containing Aluminum Chlorohydrate (19.1%) were recalled after benzene, a human carcinogen, was detected in some samples or because they were produced at a facility where benzene contamination was found. While Unilever has not received reports of adverse events, the recall is being conducted out of an abundance of caution.
Exposure to benzene can occur through inhalation, orally, and through the skin. Long-term exposure to benzene can result in life-threatening cancers, including leukemia and blood cancer of the bone marrow, as well as blood disorders. Benzene is present in the environment from various sources, but its presence in these aerosol products exceeds acceptable safety levels.
