SEVERAL people have raised safety concerns about Banana Boat sunscreen, according to reports by the ABC.
A Melbourne woman said her legs were scorched after going into the sun wearing Banana Boat's spray on SPF 50+ product while a Brisbane mother said her children were left with large blisters after using the sunscreen.
Banana Boat has reacted to the concerns saying the problem was that people were not using enough sunscreen.
It comes just one week after a mother said her three month old baby had to be hospitalised after using the Cancer Council's Peppa Pig sunscreen (PD 06, 10 Jan), highlighting the need for individual patch-testing of sensitive skin, the Council said, supported by the Australian Self Medication Industry.
