Ecolab Inc. has voluntarily recalled approximately 4,137 units of several types of hand sanitizers, including Gel Hand Sanitizer (70% Ethyl Alcohol), Advanced Gel, Moisturizing Gel, Quick-Care Foam, and Express Gel Hand Sanitizer. The recall was initiated after consumers reported an unusual bad odor (malodor) coming from the products, which led to the discovery of low levels of substituted benzene (aromatic) chemical compounds. These products were distributed nationwide across the United States in various sizes ranging from 37 mL to 540 mL bottles.
The products contain low levels of substituted benzene (aromatic) compounds, which are chemical contaminants not intended to be in hand sanitizer. Exposure to these benzene-related chemicals through the skin or inhalation may pose health risks, particularly if used frequently or over a long period.
