Energizer Holdings Inc. said that it is voluntarily recalling 23 spray-on products following reports of user injuries in Canada and the United States.

The company said there is a "potential risk" of the product igniting on the skin if contact is made with a source of ignition before the product is completely dry.

The firm indicated that the problem may stem from the size of the spray value opening that allows users to spray more of the product on skin.


Consumers who have purchased any of the products listed HERE are advised not to use them. 


Consumers with questions or complaints regarding this market withdrawal can contact Energizer by calling Consumer Affairs at 1-800-SAFESUN (1-800-723-3786) Monday through Friday, 8:00AM to 7:00PM Eastern, or by sending an email to:  SUNCARE@customerfollowup.info.

These over-the-counter products were distributed nationwide to wholesalers and retailers from January of 2010 through September 30, 2012.

“Unlike something else that would pass through the body, it grows as it moves through the body and it gets stuck,” Melanie says. “And here’s something else – this ball did not show up on a regular X-ray.”
