In short:

The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) says 21 sunscreens that share the same base formulation have been recalled, paused or are under its review.

The TGA says it has “significant concerns” about the reliability of SPF testing undertaken by Princeton Consumer Research (PCR), an overseas laboratory many sunscreen brands used to support their SPF claims.

The agency says it has written to PCR about its concerns, but has not received a response.

    All of those brands bleating about the Choice testing having ‘bad testing’ are now being found out.

    It took the TGA way too long to take this seriously, but at least something seems to be happening now.
