Approximately 94,472 bottles of various brands of hand sanitizer, including +Protec Hands, CitruGel, Health & Hand, UVT World, and Lavar 70, are being recalled because they are subpotent. This means the products contain less than the required 70% alcohol antiseptic concentration, making them less effective at killing germs. These products were sold in sizes ranging from 33.8 ounces to 127.8 ounces and were distributed in California, Georgia, Nevada, and Texas.
Subpotent hand sanitizer may not effectively kill bacteria and viruses on the skin, potentially increasing the risk of infection when users rely on the product for germ protection.
