The Procter & Gamble Company issued a voluntary product recall to the consumer level of aerosol dry conditioner spray products and aerosol dry shampoo spray products from Pantene, Aussie, Herbal Essences, and Waterl<ss produced in the United States due to the presence of benzene detected in some products.due to concern over the levels of benzene, a chemical known to cause cancer.
The recall covers nearly three dozen products that were found to have increased and “unexpected” levels of the carcinogen benzene.
The recall covers 32 dry shampoo and dry conditioner products from popular brands such as Pantene, Herbal Essence, Aussie and Old Spice. A full list can be found on the FDA’s website.
The company warned that exposure to benzene through inhalation, orally and through the skin could result in leukemia and blood cancer in the bone marrow.
Procter & Gamble said there haven’t been any reports of issues related to the recalled products, and it’s making the move “out of an abundance of caution.”
“While benzene is not an ingredient in any of our products, our review showed that unexpected levels of benzene came from the propellant that sprays the product out of the can,” the company said in a statement.
The company produces mousses, hairsprays, liquid shampoos and conditioners, and styling products.
Last month, the conglomerate recalled Old Spice and Secret aerosol sprays after similarly detecting a presence of benzene.
P&G is offering to reimburse customers who fill out claim forms and provide proof of purchase for the products on its list.
