Vi-Jon, Inc. has recalled 11,580 bottles of HEB brand 50% Isopropyl Alcohol First Aid Antiseptic due to a labeling error. The front of the bottle incorrectly identifies the contents as isopropyl alcohol, but the product inside is actually 3% Hydrogen Peroxide. The recalled product is packaged in 16-ounce brown bottles and was sold at HEB stores. No injuries or incidents have been reported to date.
Using hydrogen peroxide when expecting isopropyl alcohol could lead to ineffective treatment of a wound or cause unexpected skin irritation. This mix-up may result in consumers applying the wrong chemical for first aid purposes, potentially delaying proper healing.
You have 2 options:
The primary label on the front incorrectly identifies the product as 50% Isopropyl Alcohol, while the product inside is 3% Hydrogen Peroxide. The back label is correct.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
