Approximately 150,000 bottles of Medically Minded Antimicrobial Hand Sanitizer Gel are being recalled because some lots were found to contain methanol (wood alcohol) and have insufficient levels of ethyl alcohol. Substantial exposure to methanol can result in nausea, vomiting, headache, blurred vision, permanent blindness, seizures, coma, permanent damage to the nervous system, or death. Consumers who have these products should contact their healthcare provider or pharmacist for guidance and return the unused sanitizer for a refund.
Methanol is a toxic substance that is not an acceptable ingredient for hand sanitizers; when absorbed through the skin or ingested, it can cause life-threatening poisoning and organ damage. Additionally, the product was found to have lower ethanol levels than labeled, making it less effective at killing germs.
Return to purchase location for a refund.
