Children’s, infant’s sunscreen recalled for disease-causing bacteria
CONCORD, N.H. – A company that makes organic and natural products is recalling a sunscreen marketed for infants and young children.
W.S. Badger Co. Inc., is recalling its 4-ounce SPF 30 Baby Sunscreen Lotion and its 4-ounce SPF 30 Kids Sunscreen Lotion because they may be contaminated with three types of disease-causing bacteria and fungi.
