For example, when these products are left in a hot car that is 150 degrees Fahrenheit or higher it can quickly generate increased levels of benzene, the lab announced on Wednesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The report also showed that long-term exposure to benzene can decrease bodily cell functions and reduce red blood cell production, which can lead to blood cancers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>However, in a statement to <em>Reuters<\/em>, Reckitt, the manufacturer of Clearasil, said that the report \u201creflects unrealistic scenarios rather than real-world conditions,\u201d adding all Clearasil products were safe \u201cwhen used and stored as directed on their labels.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Meanwhile, the FDA has not responded to this latest product report released by <em>Valisure<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Stay informed!
