Minnesota + Wisconsin Included In Massive New Sunscreen Recall

With summertime upon us, the push is on to encourage people to protect their skin from the sun's harmful rays.

However, a recent recall shared by the FDA involves a skincare product that has the potential to cause an allergic skin reaction and even a fungal skin infection.

The recalled product was available online, through Amazon, and via retail stores in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and across the country.

Sunscreen Foundation Recall

According to the FDA, Suntegrity Skincare initiated a voluntary recall of nine lots of Suntegrity Impeccable Skin Sunscreen Foundation (Multiple Shades) based on its discovery of a higher microbiological mold count than what is considered the acceptable limit (Species: Aspergillus Sydowii) in some tubes of Lot 115BU that developed post-release and over time in a recent test.

Because of that discovery, and out of an abundance of caution, the company has decided to voluntarily recall additional lots even though all original and recent test results received have come back clear.

A topical product that is found to be contaminated with Aspergillus Sydowii could potentially cause an allergic skin reaction and related symptoms. If used on open wounds or sunburned skin, it could also cause a primary fungal skin infection.

If it is introduced into the eye, eye infections may occur. A primary skin infection due to Aspergillus species in an immunocompromised individual should be treated medically.
