CVS pulls 2 store-brand products after J&J recall over cancerous chemical

CVS on Thursday said it’s halting the sale of two of its store-brand aloe vera products one day after Johnson & Johnson announced the recall of five of its spray sunscreens because the company found low levels of benzene, a cancer-causing chemical, in some samples.

“CVS Pharmacy is cooperating with Johnson & Johnson’s voluntary recall of certain Neutrogena and Aveeno sunscreen products,” Joe Goode, a CVS spokesman, said in an email to The Post. “Out of an abundance of caution, we’ve also halted the sale of two products — CVS Health After Sun Aloe Vera and CVS Health After Sun Aloe Vera Spray and are working with our supplier to take appropriate additional steps,” he added.
