The recall does not affect other batches of Hair & Scalp, nor other Banana Boat products.

Recalling Hair & Scalp

Edgewell has notified retailers to remove the product from shelves. In addition to this, Banana Boat will offer reimbursement to those who have purchased Hair & Scalp.

The company advises consumers to stop using the affected product and immediately discard it.
