Is your sunscreen putting your health at risk? That’s the question being raised by a class action lawsuit filed against Coppertone, accusing the company of using a dangerous compound called benzene in its products.
If you’re worried about the safety of your sunscreen, read on to learn more about benzene and what this lawsuit could mean for you.
Coppertone has agreed to settle a class-action lawsuit that claimed the company’s sunscreen products contained benzene — a human carcinogen. Under the terms of the settlement, Coppertone will award $2.3 million to customers who submit a valid claim form. No proof of purchase is required to make a claim, and claims can be submitted online or by mail.
What is Benzene?
Benzene is a colorless, flammable liquid with a sweet odor. It is derived from coal and used as a petrochemical industry solvent. Benzene is also a key ingredient in gasoline and is released into the air during car exhaust.
Despite its widespread use, benzene is classified as a carcinogen by the U.S Environmental Protection Agency.
This means that it has been linked to an increased risk of cancer, particularly leukemia. Long-term exposure to benzene can also cause damage to the immune system, nervous system, and bone marrow. Inhaling high levels of benzene can lead to drowsiness, dizziness, and death.
For these reasons, it is crucial to be aware of the dangers of this chemical and take steps to avoid exposure.
The deadline to submit a claim is November 7, 2022. If you have purchased any Coppertone sunscreen products in the past, be sure to check if you are eligible for a refund.
This is an excellent opportunity to get back money from a company accused of putting its customers at risk.
