Pharmacy chains CVS Health Corp, Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc, and retailer Walmart Inc have also pulled J&J’s sunscreen off their shelves.
Target (TGT -0.3%) has become the latest retailer to remove Johnson & Johnson’s (JNJ +0.3%) Neutrogena branded sunscreens from its shelves after the company detected low levels of benzene in some product samples, Reuters reports.

Benzene is a cancer-causing chemical.
