BANANA Boat sunscreens in Australia are all made locally and are not involved in a recall of the company's spray sunscreens in the US, the company says.

The maker of Banana Boat sunscreen in the US is recalling about 500,000 bottles of spray-on sunscreen lotion after reports a handful of people caught on fire after using the product and coming in contact with an open flame.

Banana Boat Australia said in a statement this afternoon that all Australian Banana Boat sunscreens were manufactured in Australia and complied with Australian and New Zealand standards and testing requirements.

"No Banana Boat Sunscreens sold in Australia are impacted by the voluntary recall on products made, and sold, in the US and Canada," the companies said.

"Our sunscreens continue to be safe to use, so you and your family can enjoy your fun in the sun. As with all sunscreens always read the label and use only as directed."

In the US, an spokesman for Banana Boat distributor Energizer said there had been five reports of people suffering burns after using the company's Ultramist sunscreen sprays in the past year.

Four burns cases were reported in the US and one in Canada.

The problem appeared to be caused by UltraMist's spray valve, which was over-applying the product, Energizer said.

As a result, the lotion was taking longer to dry, increasing the flammability risk.

"If a consumer comes into contact with a flame or spark prior to complete drying of the product on the skin, there is a potential for the product to ignite," the company said.

Australian Consumers with questions can call the toll-free customer service number, 1800 810 310.
