Suave Antiperspirant Spray Benzene Content Complaint

November 12, 2021

Unilever United States, Inc. sells personal care products, including Suave antiperspirant aerosol and spray products. But the complaint alleges that the products contain benzene, a carcinogenic substance that has been linked to leukemia and other cancers. The products are not supposed to contain benzene, the complaint alleges, adding that the fact that they contain benzene “renders them adulterated and misbranded, and therefore illegal to sell under both federal and state law.”
