The companies behind dozens of popular sunscreen brands, including Banana Boat products, are in the hot seat after a Pensacola trial attorney filed a multi-million dollar class action lawsuit in Miami federal court.
Jason Richards, a partner at Aylstock, Witkin, Kreis & Overholtz who represents Maria Zapatero, said the national alleged class action lawsuit against Energizer Holdings Inc. and six other companies were in response to allegedly dangerous levels of benzene in some Banana Boat sunscreen products.
