Bayer recalls LOTRIMIN AF (Miconazole 2%) powder spray due to benzene contamination. Affected lots from Spain, expiring 2/2022 to 5/2023. Consumers should check product labels for lot numbers and expiration dates.
Chemical Contamination: presence of benzene
Bayer is recalling LOTRIMIN AF powder spray products that contain benzene, a chemical known to cause health risks. This recall affects specific lots manufactured in Spain with expiration dates from February 2022 through May 2023. Using these products could expose you to benzene, which is a potential carcinogen.
Benzene is a known carcinogen that can cause cancer and other health issues when inhaled or absorbed through the skin. The presence of benzene in LOTRIMIN AF products means users could be exposed to this harmful chemical during normal use, especially if the product is sprayed and inhaled.
People who own or use LOTRIMIN AF powder spray products with the specific lot numbers and expiration dates listed in the recall notice are affected. Those using the product for skin conditions like fungal infections may be at higher risk due to potential benzene exposure.
Check the product label for the lot number (e.g., CV01AP2) and expiration date (e.g., 2/28/2022). The product is a 133g (4.6 oz) powder spray can with a specific NDC code (11523-0544-2) and UPC number (3 11017 41025 7).
Look for the lot number (e.g., CV01AP2) and expiration date on the can.
Yes, benzene is a known carcinogen that can cause health risks when inhaled or absorbed through the skin.
The recall notice does not specify a remedy, so you should check the product label for the lot number and expiration date to determine if it is affected.
Check the product label for the lot number (e.g., CV01AP2) and expiration date (e.g., 2/28/2022) to see if it matches the recalled items.
