A popular children's sunscreen brand sold at retailers nationwide is recalling several lots of spray and roller sunscreen "out of an abundance of caution," according to an announcement.
The voluntary recall, from Racine-based brand Babyganics, was issued Feb. 14, according to a release from the company. Babyganics said the products were recalled "after quality testing found results that were not expected."
Babyganics went on to say the specific products did not meet its quality standards after a "potential impurity" was discovered.
"Out of an abundance of caution we are asking retailers and consumers to return the products for a full refund," Babyganics said.
Babyganics products are sold at popular retailers and grocery stores nationwide, including Jewel-Osco, Walgreens, Walmart, Amazon, CVS and Target.
Babyganics said that small amounts of 1,2-dimethoxyethane (also known as monoglyme or 1,2 dme) -- a "solvent that should not be present" -- were detected in the finished product.
"While not a risk to health or safety, these results are unacceptable from a quality standpoint," Babyganics said. The company is asking consumers to return the product to the point of purchase for a full refund.

Babyganics says it has implemented "additional testing requirements to ensure this does not happen again."
