The manufacturer of Banana Boat sunscreen has reached a class action settlement over allegations it failed to warn consumers that its UltraMist sunscreen is flammable, and could ignite on the skin if contact is made with a source of ignition before the product is completely dry.

U.S. residents who purchased Banana Boat UltraMist between January 2010 and October 2012 can claim cash, vouchers and/or coupons from the class action settlement.

Received my 2 coupons on 1/3/15
I got my 2 coupons today
Me too
The class action plaintiffs’ lawyers are certainly not getting paid in vouchers – another group of snake lawyers that likely couldn’t win a real case.
What about the pain it caused? My daughter and myself his this product during labor day weekend and we were only out in the sun for a few hours. She had a really bad 1st degree sunburn and I think I was between 2nd and 1st because I had blisters form on my body. I stay home two days afterward from work because of the pain.
Vanessa, that is really not what this claim is about. If you had physical injuries such as second degree burns, you should be contacting a lawyer – not taking place in this class action. This class action is specifically for the fire/ignition hazard of the spray.
I will not file either I did not think at all I would need proof of purchase, I have lupus and use the spf 50 all the time and will never use again. So unfair.
A perfect example of an abusive settlement. No normal person saves packages and proofs of purchase from years ago. Therefore almost no member of this large class will get a cash recovery. I’ll be the plaintiffs’ lawyers won’t apply to be paid in vouchers, though.
Where’s claim form???
