How Do I Claim Banana Boat Sunscreen Recall?
Recently, the FDA and Energizer Holdings Inc. recalled all Banana Boat Sunscreen products. This comes after realizing the potential risk of the product igniting on the skin if it comes into contact with a fire source while still wet. Energizer Holdings warned those who bought the sunscreen to stop using it immediately.
However, since you spent your money on buying the sunscreen, you can have the company refund the money, replace the product or even compensate you for any damage resulting from the product. Here's how to go about it:
| Call or Mail the Manufacturer | You can call Sun Pharmaceuticals, which is a subsidiary of Energizer. They'll set up a hotline to call in and prove you've been affected by the recall. In some cases, they'll ask you to mail in the item code for a replacement or reward. |
| Fill Out an Online Form | Alternatively, you can complete an online form. You'll need details like product name, size, and quantity, as well as proof of purchase (scan/picture of receipts). |
You'll need proof of purchase to get your money back. If you're unable to get proof of purchase (like if you paid cash), you'll need to go directly to the manufacturer. The manufacturer won't need proof, as long as you possess the product.
What Happened With the Banana Boat Sunscreen Recall?
The US product liability law requires manufacturers to ensure their products are safe and not defective. It also mandates manufacturers to offer adequate product warning labels to caution users about health hazards or potential risks. Therefore, if a product is voluntarily recalled, it will have failed to meet the standards, and you could claim a refund or replacement.
In 2012, Energizer Holdings Inc. made a voluntary recall of Banana Boat Sunscreen products after five people suffered severe burns. There were also reports of babies developing serious chemical burns upon using the sunscreen.
Among those affected are people who purchased Banana Boat products between January 2010 and September 2012. Some recalled products include Banana Boat UltraMist:
- Sport SPF 15, 30, 30 Bonus, 50, and 85 Bonus Continuous Spray.
- Ultra Defense SPF 30, 30 Bonus, and 85 Bonus Continuous Spray.
- Sport SPF 30 Family Size Continuous Spray
- Kids SPF 85 Continuous Spray
