Involved are products with lot numbers that begin with TN, CV, or NAA.  Each of these is contaminated with unsafe levels of the organic solvent benzene.  Benzene is classified as a human carcinogen, and exposure to it can increase your risk of leukemia, bone marrow cancers, and other blood disorders all of which may be life-threatening.  If you or family members have these products, discontinue using them and discard them.  Contact Bayer by phone at 1-866-360-3266 for additional information.  To request a refund, take a photo of the product and visit lotrimin.com or tinactin.com.   https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/bayer-issues-voluntary-recall-specific-lotriminr-and-tinactinr-spray-products-due-presence-benzene   #tinactin #l
