WASHINGTON (October 19, 2012)—Energizer Holdings, the maker of Banana Boat sunscreen, is recalling one of its spray-on products after reports that a handful of people caught on fire after applying the lotion.

Energizer Holdings is pulling nearly two-dozen formulations of UltraMist off store shelves because of the risk the lotion can ignite when exposed to open flame.

A company spokesman said there have been five reports of people catching on fire after applying the sunscreen in the last year.

Four cases were reported in the U.S. and one in Canada.

More than 20 million units have been sold since UltraMist launched in 2010.

Energizer said the problem appears to be with the spray valve, which is over applying the product; if the sunscreen doesn't dry completely it can catch on fire.
