How to Get a Refund From Sunscreen Recalls

Sunscreen is a summertime staple for staying safe in the sun, but it's important to take care when applying. Many sunscreens have been recalled recently due to potentially dangerous contents. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued several recalls for sunscreen products that failed to meet FDA standards or were falsely marketed as 100 percent natural.

Sunscreen is important for protecting your skin from harmful UV rays, but it's equally as important that the sunscreen you're using is free of dangerous ingredients. The FDA has strict guidelines in place to ensure that sunscreen products are safe for use, but not all companies meet the FDA's standards. These standards include guidelines for the proper labeling of sunscreen products, prohibiting claims that are false or misleading.

The FDA has regulations in place to protect consumers from harmful sunscreen products, but not every company follows these regulations. Using DoNotPay 's search engine allows you to easily stay up-to-date on sunscreen recalls by keeping track of companies that are breaking the rules.

What Happened with the Sunscreen Recall?

The FDA recently recalled batches of sunscreen for containing potentially harmful chemicals such as PABA and salicylates, which can cause allergic reactions or hormonal disruptions.

Some of the sunscreens that were taken off the market include:

How to File a Sunscreen Recall Claim?

Because there are several companies included in these sunscreen recalls, it is necessary to file a claim(s) for each sunscreen you used.

For claims on Aveeno, Neutrogena, or Coppertone sunscreens, visit the respective company's website for more information and to obtain the forms for each claim.

In general, to file a sunscreen recall claim you will need:

• Your personal information (name, address, phone, email)
• The product information of your purchase (item name, item size, UPC, lot number)
• Information about where you purchased the product (retailer name, date of purchase, purchase price)
• A photo of the product bottles or a scan of the receipt

If they are approved, refunds for sunscreen recalls can generally take up to 30 days.

What Should I Do if My Sunscreen Causes an Allergic Reaction?

If you or a loved one has recently used sunscreen and experienced adverse reactions it's important to seek medical attention. These reactions could include:

• Itching
• Redness
• Swelling
• Blisters
• Rashes

These are signs that you may have an allergy or other adverse reaction to the ingredients in your sunscreen. The FDA advises that any person who experiences these symptoms should stop using the product and contact the company to file a complaint.

Do I Immediately Get a Recall if I Report My Product?

Not necessarily. Sometimes the FDA takes a complaint and investigates to determine if a product recall is necessary, but other times they issue a warning or violation letter based on the severity of the incident. The FDA's main concern is that a sunscreen product does not pose a threat to public health or the safety of consumers when used as directed.

However, it is important to note that the FDA may choose to recall a product if it contains ingredients such as oxybenzone and PABA, which can cause allergic reactions in some people. Companies are required by law to report these incidents, according to the FDA.
