Albek De Mexico S.A. De C.V. has recalled over 6 million units of various hand sanitizers, including brands like Next Advanced, NuuxSan, Modesa, and Assured. These products were found to contain methanol, a toxic substance, or had lower-than-labeled levels of ethanol, making them less effective at killing germs. The recall affects approximately 6,090,088 bottles sold in 8 fl oz (236-237 mL) sizes across the United States. Consumers should stop using these products immediately and follow disposal instructions to avoid serious health risks.
Methanol exposure can lead to serious health issues including nausea, vomiting, headache, blurred vision, permanent blindness, seizures, coma, or permanent damage to the nervous system. The presence of methanol is particularly dangerous if ingested by children or if absorbed through the skin in significant amounts.
