UVT INC is recalling approximately 38,016 bottles of Saniderm Advanced Hand Sanitizer (70% alcohol content) because the product contains undeclared methanol, also known as wood alcohol. These 1-liter bottles were distributed to wholesalers in Florida and may have been sold nationwide. Consumers who have this hand sanitizer should immediately stop using it and contact their healthcare provider or pharmacist, as methanol is not an acceptable ingredient for hand sanitizers and can be toxic if absorbed through the skin or ingested.
Methanol exposure can result in nausea, vomiting, headache, blurred vision, permanent blindness, seizures, coma, permanent damage to the nervous system, or death. While anyone using these products on their hands is at risk, young children who accidentally ingest them and adolescents or adults who drink them as an alcohol substitute are at highest risk for methanol poisoning.
