World Source Llc: QiYu Hand Sanitizer Gel Recalled for Being Subpotent

Agency Publication Date: June 16, 2021

Summary

World Source Llc is recalling approximately 6,300 bottles of QiYu Hand Sanitizer Gel (ethanol) because the product was found to be subpotent. This means the hand sanitizer does not contain the required amount of active ingredient to effectively kill germs, potentially leaving users unprotected from infection. The affected product was distributed to two hospitals in New York in 500 mL pump bottles and can be identified by lot number 20200320 and an expiration date of March 2022.

Risk

Because the product is subpotent, it may fail to sanitize hands effectively, increasing the risk of bacterial or viral infection when users rely on it for hand hygiene.

What You Should Do

Check your supplies for QiYu Hand Sanitizer Gel in 500 mL pump bottles (Manufacturer Guangzhou Minghui Cosmetics Co., Ltd.).
Look for Manufacturer's lot # 20200320 and an expiration date of March 2022 (WorldSource LLC, Item # TCM004) to confirm if your product is part of the recall.
If you have this product, contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist for guidance on alternative sanitization options.
Return any unused product to the place of purchase for a refund and contact World Source Llc for further instructions regarding the disposal or return of the subpotent gel.
