Vi-Jon, LLC has recalled approximately 3,157,620 bottles of Medline 70% Isopropyl Alcohol (first aid antiseptic) because the bottles may leak when squeezed or if not stored upright. The recall involves 4-ounce bottles with dozens of different lot numbers and expiration dates ranging from late 2022 to early 2024. No incidents or injuries have been reported, but the leaking is caused by defects in the bottle neck and insufficient tightening of the caps.
The defect in the container finish can cause the flammable antiseptic liquid to leak out during use or storage. This creates a risk of product loss, potential fire hazards from spilled alcohol, and may leave consumers without a usable antiseptic during a medical need.
