Johnson & Johnson on Wednesday issued a voluntary recall of one Aveeno and four Neutrogena sunscreen sprays after internal testing found low levels of benzene, a chemical that can potentially cause cancer.

The five aerosol products are Aveeno Protect + Refresh aerosol sunscreen, and four Neutrogena aerosol sunscreens: Beach Defense, Cool Dry Sport, Invisible Daily defense, and Ultra Sheer.
