Sunscreen recalled for contamination.

Badger sunscreen — the No. 1 selling formula in U.S. natural markets — is being recalled because the products were found to have microbial contamination. All 4-ounce SPF 30 Baby Sunscreen Lotions and one lot of its 4-ounce SPF 30 Kids Sunscreen Lotion potentially contain Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida parapsilosis and Acremonium fungi, though no adverse reactions have been reported.

This product – which is touted as being carefully formulated with only food-grade emulsifiers and natural preservatives – can be identified by matching the UPC with the Lot code, which can be found on the top front of the tube crimp.
The affected lots include the following:

• SPF 30 Baby Sunscreen Lotion 4oz (UPC: 634084490091&634084490114) Lot #’s 3024A, 3057B, 3063A, 3063B, 3132A, 3133A
• SPF 30 Kids Sunscreen Lotion (UPC: 634084490145 & 634084490169) Lot # 3164A

Return the product to the original point of purchase for a full refund, or contact Badger directly at 1-800-603-6100 or email recalls@badgerbalm.com between the hours of 8:30-4:30 ET, Monday – Friday.

^{“As a father and grandfather, the safety and well-being of children is my highest priority,” said Badger Founder & CEO Bill Whyte. “All of these lots passed the required microbiological and comprehensive challenge testing prior to sale. It was during routine re-testing that we discovered that the preservative system in several lots had been compromised. In our 18-year history, this voluntary recall is a first. We continue to conduct rigorous testing and are taking steps to ensure this doesn’t happen in the future.”}
