Last year around this time a mother warned parents about the hazards of certain children's sunscreen. She followed all the directions on the bottle but her infant was still severely burned.
The mom specifically references aerosol sunscreen: " I have done a lot of research. Since coming home and have found a disturbing amount of cases like ours. I don't know why it's not removed from the shelves !! Pictures from first to last is from yesterday morning to this afternoon please be careful the sunscreen used was banana boat spf 50 broad spectrum kids sunscreen"
