# **Major Recall Alert: Kids by Babyganics SPF 50 Mineral Sunscreen Totally Tropical Products Recalled Over Potential Health Risks**
A significant recall has been issued for select **Kids by Babyganics SPF 50 Mineral Sunscreen Totally Tropical** products, including the **continuous spray** and **rollerball** versions. The recall, announced by **SC Johnson & Son, Inc.**, stems from the discovery of an impurity—**monoglyme (1,2-dimethoxyethane)**—at levels exceeding the allowable limit. This impurity may pose health risks when frequently used on a large surface area or inhaled.
This recall involves sunscreen products designed for **infants and children aged six months to 12 years**, though **adults aged 18 and older** can also use the continuous spray. **Health Canada** is actively monitoring the situation, ensuring compliance from the company and keeping the public informed of any additional risks.

## **Why This Recall is Important**
Protecting your family’s health is always a top priority, especially when it comes to young children and infants. Monoglyme, the solvent found in these products, poses serious potential health risks, including:
- **Harm to fetal development**
- **Damage to reproductive systems**
These consequences are unlikely during limited use but cannot be ruled out. The impurity can be absorbed through the skin, and inhalation of the spray poses an additional risk. Due to the vulnerability of children and potentially pregnant individuals, this recall is being conducted **out of an abundance of caution**.
