Approximately 156.2 million units of various hand sanitizers, including Blumen, Assured, and Modesa brands, are being recalled because they may contain methanol (wood alcohol). The products were either found to contain methanol, were manufactured in a facility with poor quality control where methanol was present, or contained less ethanol than the label claimed. Affected products were distributed nationwide in the USA and include various bottle sizes ranging from 2 fl oz to 1.05 gallons. Consumers should immediately check their hand sanitizer bottles against the listed brands and UPC codes.
Methanol exposure can result in nausea, vomiting, headache, blurred vision, permanent blindness, seizures, coma, permanent damage to the nervous system, or death. While all persons using these products on their hands are at risk, young children who accidentally ingest these products and adolescents or adults who drink these products as an alcohol (ethanol) substitute are most at risk for methanol poisoning.
