Walker Emulsions Inc. is recalling various sizes of Walker Hand Sanitizer because they were manufactured with DA-2I ethanol, a type of alcohol that is not approved for use in hand sanitizers. The recall affects 1-gallon containers of 60% alcohol solution and 16 oz or 32 oz bottles of 70% alcohol solution. These products were distributed to a site in South Carolina, donated to a recipient in Oregon, and shipped to Canada.
The use of unapproved ethanol types in hand sanitizers can lead to skin irritation or the presence of impurities that have not been vetted for safety by health authorities. While no injuries have been reported, the product does not meet the regulatory standards for topical antiseptics.
Contact healthcare provider and return product for refund.
