It would be nice if every product we used was guaranteed to be safe, but that’s why we have recalls. The risks can range from mild to deadly. Here’s what you need to know about a popular brand of sunscreen that contains a cancer-causing ingredient.

Even your cleaning products could send you to the hospital. Check your cabinets for Fabuloso Multi-Purpose Cleaner. On Wednesday, the manufacturer recalled almost 5 million bottles due to potential bacteria contamination.
