Incredible Products, SA de CV is recalling Incredible Products Gelbac T Antibacterial Hand Gel (80% ethyl alcohol) because testing found the product contains methanol instead of the labeled ethyl alcohol. Methanol, or wood alcohol, is a toxic substance that is not an acceptable ingredient for hand sanitizers and can be dangerous when absorbed through the skin or swallowed. This recall affects both the 4.2-ounce (125 mL) bottles and the larger 33.8-ounce (1 L) bottles distributed in California and Georgia. Consumers who have these products should contact their healthcare provider or pharmacist for guidance and return any unused product to the place of purchase for a refund.
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 at highest risk for methanol poisoning.
