Approximately 14,050 bottles of Handese Advanced Instant Hand Sanitizer (Ethyl Alcohol 70%) have been recalled because testing revealed the product contains less alcohol than required (subpotent) and has excessively high pH levels. These quality defects mean the sanitizer may not effectively kill germs and the high pH could potentially cause skin irritation. The recall affects 12 FL OZ (354 mL) bottles sold across the United States. Consumers should stop using the affected sanitizer immediately and contact their healthcare provider or pharmacist for guidance.
The product is subpotent, meaning it lacks the necessary alcohol concentration to effectively eliminate pathogens as intended, and the high pH levels may cause skin irritation or damage upon application.
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.
