Assisting Clients Nationwide with Sunscreen Lawsuits

The same sunscreen that is meant to protect you from skin cancer due to the sun’s harmful radiation could be what caused your recent cancer diagnosis. Several popular sunscreen brands have recently been recalled for unsafe benzene levels in them. Benzene is a chemical component that is a known carcinogen.

People who used benzene-laced sunscreen often might be at risk of:

• Leukemia
• Myeloma
• Lymphoma
• Other similar cancers

Did you use sunscreen often and were later diagnosed with cancer? There could be a connection that warrants a lawsuit against the sunscreen’s manufacturer. The Farmer & Klopfer can help you explore your options and take legal action. We assist clients in all 50 states.

Who can sue for benzene exposure in sunscreen?

There is no amount of benzene that can be considered “safe” in sunscreen. As such, anyone who has used a benzene-contaminated sunscreen product might have a valid claim. People who have also been diagnosed with a form of cancer will have the strongest claims, though. For more information, contact our firm. We work with clients nationwide for sunscreen lawsuits.
