Approximately 245,500 bottles of Shine & Clean Hand Sanitizer gel (Ethyl Alcohol 70%) in 1-liter (33.81 fl oz) bottles are being recalled because FDA testing found the product contains toxic methanol and lacks the promised amount of ethanol. Methanol, or wood alcohol, is a substance that can be poisonous if absorbed through the skin or swallowed, which is especially dangerous for young children. Consumers should stop using the affected hand sanitizer immediately and follow the instructions to contact a professional for guidance.
The product contains undeclared methanol, which is toxic; substantial exposure can result in nausea, vomiting, headache, blurred vision, permanent blindness, seizures, coma, permanent damage to the nervous system, or death.
