Shane Erickson Inc. is recalling 108,038 units of various IMC Wash-Free Hand Sanitizer products because they were manufactured in a facility where the FDA found products to be subpotent (lacking enough alcohol) and contaminated with methanol. Methanol, or wood alcohol, is a toxic substance that is not an acceptable ingredient for hand sanitizers and can be life-threatening if absorbed through the skin or ingested. These products were distributed nationwide in the USA and Canada in sizes ranging from 1.7 oz to 10.1 oz bottles, often featuring custom branding for organizations like SoFi Stadium, the Indiana Pacers, and Thrifty White Pharmacy.
Subpotent hand sanitizer fails to effectively kill germs, while methanol exposure can lead to nausea, vomiting, headache, blurred vision, permanent blindness, seizures, coma, permanent damage to the nervous system, or death if ingested or absorbed through the skin.
