Leiper's Fork Distillery has recalled approximately 1,996 gallons of Alcohol Antiseptic Topical Solution (Ethyl Alcohol 70%) because the product was labeled to contain methanol. The recall affects both 16-fluid-ounce bottles and 5-gallon vacuum-sealed buckets across all production lots. Methanol is a toxic substance that is not an approved ingredient for hand sanitizers and can cause serious health complications if absorbed or ingested. This product was distributed exclusively in Tennessee.
Methanol exposure can cause serious health issues such as nausea, vomiting, headache, blurred vision, permanent blindness, seizures, coma, or permanent damage to the nervous system. While the product is intended for topical use, methanol is toxic and poses a risk to anyone using it on their skin or accidentally ingesting it.
