flag Australian sunscreens fail SPF tests, prompting recalls amid cancer risk concerns.

flag Over a dozen Australian sunscreens have been removed from sale after tests revealed they failed to deliver the SPF levels advertised, with some SPF 50+ products performing as low as SPF 21. flag The Therapeutic Goods Administration identified 21 products under scrutiny, prompting recalls, sales suspensions, and ongoing reviews. flag A prior CHOICE investigation found only four of 20 tested brands matched their claims. flag Health officials urge consumers to use sunscreen alongside other sun protection measures and remain cautious, though most products remain effective when used properly. flag The issue highlights concerns over labeling accuracy in a country with high skin cancer rates.
