Summary

Grupo Asimex de Mexico SA de CV is recalling all lots of Florance Morris Antiseptic Hand Sanitizer (70% ethyl alcohol) due to potential methanol contamination. The affected products were sold in 8.45 fl oz (250 mL) and 33.81 fl oz (1L) bottles through distributors nationwide. This recall was initiated because the hand sanitizer was manufactured under the same conditions as other product lots found to contain methanol, which is a toxic substance.

Risk

Methanol exposure can lead to serious health problems including nausea, vomiting, headache, blurred vision, permanent blindness, seizures, coma, permanent damage to the nervous system, or death. Young children who accidentally ingest the product and adults who drink it as an ethanol substitute are at the highest risk for methanol poisoning.
