This follows an earlier recall of five sunscreen brands.
The New York Post reported that a team of researchers led by Executive Director of Haereticus Environmental Laboratory Craig Downs, asked the FDA to recall sunscreens containing octocrylene. They said the ingredient could degrade to suspected carcinogen benzophenone.

Johnson & Johnson recalled five aerosol sunscreen products in July after testing found low levels of benzene, a carcinogen in the four Neutrogena products, and one Aveeno product.
