BREAKING FDA Recalls Hand Sanitizer

FDA warns 9 brands of hand sanitizer may be toxic
The FDA is warning that the public should stop using 9 brands of hand sanitizer because the products may contain methanol, or wood alcohol.

The FDA said Friday that consumers should stop using any hand sanitizer from Mexico-based manufacturer SA de CV, due to the potential presence of methanol, or wood alcohol, in its products. The FDA warned that methanol can be toxic when ingested or absorbed through the skin.

"Therefore, FDA recommends consumers stop using these hand sanitizers and dispose of them immediately in appropriate hazardous waste containers. Do not flush or pour these products down the drain," the agency warned.

The symptoms of substantial methanol exposure includes nausea, vomiting, headache, blurred vision, permanent blindness, seizures, coma, permanent damage to the nervous system or death.

"Methanol is not an acceptable ingredient for hand sanitizers and should not be used due to its toxic effects," the agency warned. "Consumers who have been exposed to hand sanitizer containing methanol should seek immediate treatment, which is critical for potential reversal of toxic effects of methanol poisoning."

The FDA listed the following products in its warning:

- All-Clean Hand Sanitizer (NDC: 74589-002-01)

- Esk Biochem Hand Sanitizer (NDC: 74589-007-01)

- CleanCare NoGerm Advanced Hand Sanitizer 75% Alcohol (NDC: 74589-008-04)

- Lavar 70 Gel Hand Sanitizer (NDC: 74589-006-01)

- The Good Gel Antibacterial Gel Hand Sanitizer (NDC: 74589-010-10)

- CleanCare NoGerm Advanced Hand Sanitizer 80% Alcohol (NDC: 74589-005-03)

- CleanCare NoGerm Advanced Hand Sanitizer 75% Alcohol (NDC: 74589-009-01)

- CleanCare NoGerm Advanced Hand Sanitizer 80% Alcohol (NDC: 74589-003-01)

- Saniderm Advanced Hand Sanitizer (NDC: 74589-001-01)

Thanks TB, I appreciate it. Imagine a child having those horrible symptoms. Who would ever think to suspect a hand sanitizer.

Methanol is the precursor to most simple methylamines. You know, that stuff Walter “Heisenberg” White had to heist to make his famous blue meth.

Just thought y’all would enjoy that offshoot of data.

.....and the FDA (Federal death agency) NEVER stopped Johnson and Johnson from the continued sale of Baby Powder known to cause cancer. I guess J&J stopped selling it finally after years of complaints. Ya know....because they care about babies so much.

Nobody should buy from J&J because they are NOT A FAMILY COMPANY.

That works to check...provided it is listed. Knock-off's are incline to lie or just not list.

Unfortunately there has never again been any Purell or GermX hand sanitizer in my area since the beginning of the virus back months ago. Also never has returned any Clorox Disinfecting Wipes. I hear they have this stuff in other places in TX but not in my area anywhere.

Anyone get aching hands from using so much hand sanitizer the last few months?

Pour it down the drain? Is that a good idea?

"Look, the public has caught on the to notion now, of the virus not spreading as it had back in March and April. But, as you all know ... we seriously NEED this virus-fear to keep spreading up until November... All of our political futures are wholly dependent upon the virus staying uppermost in the voters minds..thereby negating the traditional voting booths of the past; utilizing Mail-In Voting - exclusively - for this coming November...""

Those are the exact same symptoms of being drunk or alcohol poisoning.. and you'd need to literally drink the hand sanitizer to cause that.

Btw what type of alcohol do they consider safe in soap? vodka? absinthe?

What in the world? God it just never ends!

Hi Nine's

All hand sanitizers are toxic from Purell to 3m, Cavi and beyond...

Nope. But I rarely did that 20 seconds of vigorous scrubbing crap either.

My hands are a bit dried out from all the hand sanitizer tho.

Wait I thought Trump said stuff might be OK.... oh wait, misinterpretation.
Just kidding... no mercy.
