This is a very large group of over the counter antifungal spray products. There is a group of photos of the cans shown and full information here at the FDA. Benzene is a carcinogen. I couldn't fit all the products here. The complete listing can be seen on the FDA page.

 


"WHIPPANY, N.J., October 1, 2021 -- Bayer is voluntarily recalling all unexpired Lotrimin® AF and Tinactin® spray products with lot numbers beginning with TN, CV or NAA, distributed between September 2018 to September 2021, to the consumer level due to the presence of benzene in some samples of the products. Benzene is not an ingredient in any of Bayer Consumer Health products. It is important to note that Bayer’s decision to voluntarily recall these products is a precautionary measure and that the levels detected are not expected to cause adverse health consequences in consumers."
