Valisure’s November 1, 2022, Citizen Petition on benzene contamination in dry shampoo builds upon the growing list of the company’s detection of benzene in consumer products, including Valisure’s March 24, 2021, Citizen Petition on benzene contamination in hand sanitizer, its May 24, 2021, Citizen Petition on benzene contamination in sunscreens, its November 4th, 2021 Citizen Petition on benzene contamination in body sprays, and the recent recall of contaminated hand sanitizers, sunscreens, body sprays, and other consumer products due to the presence of benzene.
