Approximately 1,392 bottles of SYP Health Hand Sanitizer Alcohol Gel (ethyl alcohol) 70% are being recalled because they were manufactured in a facility where products were found to contain methanol and have insufficient ethanol levels. Methanol, or wood alcohol, is a toxic substance that is not an acceptable ingredient for hand sanitizers and can be life-threatening if absorbed through the skin or ingested. Consumers who have these 16.91 FL OZ (500 mL) bottles should immediately stop using them and contact their healthcare provider or pharmacist.
Substantial 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.
Contact healthcare provider and return for refund.
