Jessica Alba just got hit with a second lawsuit after her company’s sunscreen left several with bad sunburns.
The $5 million class-action lawsuit claims that in March, The Honest Company removed half of the zinc oxide from its sunscreen formula, but continued to market it as SPF 30, TMZ reports.
Though it’s marketed as “eco-friendly, affordable and natural,” the suit claims that it left several children with bad sunburns.

A week ago Jonathan D. Rubin also sued The Honest Company for $5 million in a class-action suit because he claims the sunscreen is ineffective. (PHOTOS: Jessica Alba Under Fire After Company’s ‘Non-Toxic’ Sunscreen Causes Painful Burns)

“We strongly stand behind our products and the responsibility we have to our consumers,” Alba said in a statement. “We are steadfast in our commitment to transparency and openness.”
“I know my children, Honor and Haven, are growing up in a safer home because of our products.” (PHOTOS: This Is What It Looks Like After You Use Jessica Alba’s Company’s Sunscreen)
