Approximately 20,440 units of Zanilast+ Gel Antiseptic Hand Sanitizer (70% Ethyl Alcohol) are being recalled due to manufacturing deviations that could lead to the presence of 1-propanol. This recall affects various sizes including 1-liter bottles, 1-gallon bottles, and 25 kg containers sold in California, New York, and Mexico. Consumers should check their supply for all lots of this product, as it was found to potentially contain toxic levels of 1-propanol rather than the safe ethyl alcohol listed on the label.
1-propanol is a toxic substance that can cause central nervous system depression, leading to symptoms like confusion, decreased consciousness, and slowed breathing. While it is intended for skin use, accidental ingestion or absorption through the skin of 1-propanol can be life-threatening, particularly for children.
