The FDA has announced a retail-level recall of six benzoyl peroxide acne products due to elevated levels of benzene, a chemical linked to cancer risks. The majority of tested products showed undetectable or extremely low levels of benzene, but certain La Roche-Posay, Walgreens, Proactiv, SLMD, and Zapzyt products are being removed from store shelves. ? The recall is at the retail level, meaning stores are removing products, but consumers are not being asked to return or dispose of them. ? The risk to consumers is considered very low, even with long-term use. ? Consumers should check their products and discard any that are expired. ? The FDA continues to monitor and test for potential contaminants in over-the-counter drug products. #ProductSafety #FDARecall #Benzene #ConsumerProtection #RWB #RWBlawyers For more information, read more FDA: https://bit.ly/4brV00t
