Dovel & Luner and Izard, Kindall & Raabe filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Connecticut against the manufacturer of Banana Boat sunscreen. They alleged—in the suit by a California named plaintiff—that the lotion labeled “faces” is more expensive, but uses the same formula as the regular Sport Ultra variety.

The law firms filed a similar case against Beiersdorf Inc., which manufactures “Coppertone Sport Mineral” sunscreen. Beiersdorf also labels a smaller and more expensive bottle as “face” lotion, but it does not contain anything different from the standard sport mineral bottle, according to allegations filed in court documents.
