  • Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) and Costco Wholesale Corporation (NASDAQ:COST) have reached a tentative agreement to settle lawsuits over the presence of a cancer-causing substance in recalled JNJ sunscreen products, Reuters reported.
  • Lawyers for the companies and plaintiffs suing over the Neutrogena and Aveeno-branded aerosol sunscreen products disclosed the settlement in the Fort Lauderdale, Florida federal court without revealing its terms.
  • The Companies expect to submit the settlement for court approval by November 19. JNJ said that the settlement is not an admission of liability or wrongdoing.
  • JNJ voluntarily recalled four Neutrogena aerosol sunscreen products and one from Aveeno in July after finding small amounts of benzene.
  • The FDA said that it was investigating how benzene had ended up in the sunscreens following the recall.

  • Price Action: JNJ stock closed at $163.02, and COST shares closed at $491.87 on Monday.
