SPF Claims: Do These Sunscreens Live Up To Their Label?
Posted By
Brett H. Oppenheimer, PLLC
If you have purchased Banana Boat Kids Tear-Free, Sting-Free Lotion (SPF
50) or CVS brand Kids Sun Lotion (SPF 50), our law firm is currently investigating
a potential class action lawsuit in Kentucky related to the mislabeling
of their SPF power. According to a new study by Consumer Reports, 43%
of sunscreens fail to live up to their SPF claim. The Banana Boat Kids
Tear-Free and the CVS Kids Sun Lotion were two of the sunscreens that
had the worst performance. Both sunscreens were labeled as SPF 50 but
tested at an SPF level of approximately 8. Consumer Reports also found
that the sunscreens that claimed “natural” ingredients were
the least effective in preventing UVB ray damage. The American Academy
of Dermatology has recommended using a sunscreen that is at least 30 SPF
to prevent sunburn and skin cancer risks.
I am currently investigating a potential lawsuit against the manufacturers
and/or sellers of these faulty sunscreens because their advertising claims
of sun protection appear to be false. People who have used Banana Boat
Kids Tear-Free, Sting-Free Lotion or CVS Kids Sun Lotion may deserve their
money back for purchasing an ineffective product. If you have used these
products you may be eligible to join a Kentucky class action lawsuit involving
faulty sunscreens. Contact me
