Owen Biosciences recalls 2.5% benzoyl peroxide acne lotions due to benzene contamination. Affected products include Farmhouse Fresh and Midnight Clearing night lotions with specific lot numbers and expiration dates.
Chemical contamination: Presence of benzene
Owen Biosciences is recalling certain night lotions for acne treatment because they contain benzene, a chemical known to be harmful. This recall affects products sold in the U.S. with specific lot numbers and expiration dates.
The lotions contain benzene, a chemical that can cause health issues when absorbed through the skin. Benzene is a known carcinogen and can lead to serious health problems with prolonged exposure.
People who own or use the recalled Farmhouse Fresh or Midnight Clearing night lotions with the listed lot numbers and expiration dates are affected. Those using the product for acne treatment are most at risk.
Check the product label for the name 'Farmhouse Fresh' or 'Midnight Clearing' and the specific lot numbers listed: 2595500 (exp. 10/2/2026), 2549700 (exp. 6/12/2026), or 2638200 (exp. 4/30/2027).
Look for the product name and lot numbers listed in the recall notice to confirm if your lotion is affected.
