The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has issued a warning over an aerosol sunscreen.
The instructions on bottles of Bondi Sands Everyday Protection Face SPF 50+ Sunscreen Mist were “not clear, particularly about use on the face”, the medical regulator said.
“If you spray the sunscreen mist directly onto your face this may cause accidental inhalation, local irritation of nose, mouth, and throat, as well as coughing and sneezing,” it warned online.
Instead, people are urged to spray the sunscreen onto their hands before applying it to their face.
Additionally, the sunscreen should only be applied in a well-ventilated area.
Anybody with further questions is urged to contact the Bondi Sands customer service team via email.
