Bayer recalls Lotrimin® and Tinactin® aerosol spray products

Bayer is voluntarily recalling specific Lotrimin® and Tinactin® products due to the presence of benzene, according to a Department of Defense All Food and Drug Activity message sent Oct. 1.

Daily exposure to benzene at the levels detected in these affected spray products would not be expected to cause adverse health consequences based on generally accepted exposure modeling by numerous regulatory agencies. Bayer is issuing this recall as a precautionary measure.

Benzene is classified as a human carcinogen. Exposure to benzene can occur through inhalation, oral, and skin and it could, depending on the level and extent of exposure, result in an increased risk of cancers including leukemia, and blood cancer of the bone marrow and other blood disorders which can be life-threatening.

The Defense Commissary Agency has publicized this recall to all its stores, said Richard Stith, Chief, Public Health Division, DeCA headquarters at Fort Lee, Virginia. Whenever a commissary has recalled or withdrawn products in its inventory, they are immediately removed from store shelves.
