Summary

Omega & Delta Co., Inc. is recalling approximately 76,129 bottles of DOP and Equate Hand Sanitizers because they were found to be sub-potent or super-potent. This means the products do not meet the established standards for alcohol content, which can impact their effectiveness or safety. The recall includes 4-ounce and 8-ounce bottles of DOP Hand Sanitizer and 7.5-ounce bottles of Equate Hand Sanitizer distributed exclusively in Puerto Rico. Consumers are advised to stop using these products and contact a healthcare professional if they have concerns.

Risk

Sub-potent hand sanitizer may not effectively kill germs, increasing the risk of infection. Conversely, super-potent product may cause skin irritation or other adverse skin reactions.
