Badger Sunscreen Lotion Recall [Pictures]
Badger brand has recalled some products because of a microbial contamination. I know a lot of health conscious mommy's who use this organic brand on their kids. Sounds like it was mostly a precautionary recall, but still something you may want to check into if you use Badger brand sunscreen for kids or baby.
