just got this from consumer re the Cancer Society SPF30+ Trigger Spray Sunscreen.

The problem
Our tests have shown that the sunscreen significantly failed to meet the SPF claim.

Details
Cancer Society SPF30+ Trigger Spray Sunscreen.

Batch no. B34072B expiry date Jul 2010.

What to do
Return the product to the retail store you purchased it from to receive a full refund.

You can also download a copy of the recall form from the Cancer Society website and post a completed copy, with the product to:

Brand Support
Head Office
43 Honan Place
Avondale
Auckland
New Zealand

You will be sent a refund for the product and the postage.

Please note that no other products of the Cancer Society's sunscreen range are being recalled.

Wow, glad I don't have this sunscreen but I'll be checking out the boys daycare as they use Cancer Soc sunscreen.
I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived!

I got an email about this - that is so bad. We purposely bought their sunscreens because you would think that they of all people would be careful about their products

I am also wondering about other types of Cancer Society sun screen - that is the brand I was using when I recently got badly burnt! I have since switched to Nivea and its much much better.

They use the Cancer society one in our daycare but I take our own for Gina. DH used to use it too and thought it was great stuff, but has switched to the brand I use (Estee Lauder)

I've gotten burnt alot this summer with cancer society kids sunscreen (not the spray bottle) I'm avoiding the sun at the moment, but I think I'll get another brand once this one runs out - thankfully Seb is more "sun-resistant" than me and hasn't been burnt once.
