Procter & Gamble (P&G) agreed to pay $8 million as part of a settlement to resolve claims its aerosolized products contain benzene, a known carcinogen. Consumers do not need to provide proof of purchase in order to benefit.
According to a class action lawsuit against P&G, aerosol products sold by the company’s brands were contaminated with benzene. Benzene is formed both naturally in volcanoes and forest fires and through synthetic products such as the production of crude oil and gasoline, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Although the chemical is used to make plastics and other synthetics, benzene is a carcinogen associated with leukemia.
