A recall issue has been issued for a kids sunscreen produced by SC Johnson & Son.
According to Health Canada, Kids by Babyganics SPF 50 Mineral Sunscreen Totally Tropical, both the rollerball and spray versions, have been recalled in Canada.
The reason for the recall is that "an impurity was found in the products at levels exceeding the allowable limit, which may pose health risks,” Health Canada says.
Consumers are urged to stop using the affected products immediately and consult a healthcare professional if there are any health concerns related to use of the sunscreen.
“The impurity can be absorbed through the skin and by inhalation, and may cause side effects when used frequently over a large surface area of the body or if inhaled,” the recall notice explains.
“Side effects may include harm to fetal development and harm to the reproductive system for anyone. While these health consequences are very unlikely, it cannot be ruled out.”
