Class Action Lawsuit - Sunscreen is a scam

I have been saying this all along...sunscreen is a scam. I have a strict no sunscreen
policy on "Buzzard Field" and we have never lost an inning to sunburn. Please refrain from bringing any sunblocking lotions onto the field.

Sunscreen Consumer Fraud Litigation

Manufacturers of the top sunscreen brands relied upon by millions of American swimmers and sunbathers each year have lied about the effectiveness of their products in blocking sun rays and preventing skin diseases, including cancer, according to several coordinated lawsuits filed in California Superior Court in Los Angeles.

Such famous brands as Coppertone, Banana Boat and Hawaiian Tropic, marketed as protective “sunblocks,” are in fact unreliable in protecting adults and children and can create a sense of false security that actually endangers users, the complaint charges.

“Sunscreen is the Snake Oil of the 21st Century and these companies that market it are Fortune 500 Snake Oil salesmen,” said Samuel Rudman, a New York-based partner in the nation’s most successful shareholder and consumer class action law firm, Lerach Coughlin Stoia Geller Rudman & Robbins LLP. “False claims such as ‘sunblock’ ‘waterproof’ and ‘all-day protection’ should be removed from these products immediately,” he said.
