Bulk hand sanitizers cannot be stored in Glendale office buildings, according to OSHA regulations and any amounts of more than 25 gallons must be properly stored in flammable-liquid storage containers.

Hand Sanitizers Containing Methanol or 1-Propanol

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has fined several companies and manufacturering companies for making and selling hand sanitizers that have the following ingredientsmethanol or 1-propanol, both of which are toxic to human health and neither are approved for hand-washing by the EPA:

• Ethanol contained in spirits for consumption, methanol mostly used to make fuels, solvents and antifreeze. Referred to as “wood alcohol” or “methyl alcohol”, methanol is colorless, highly ignitable and very poisonous if consumed.
• Used in industry, some cosmetics and antiseptics, 1-Propanol is used as a multi-purpose solvent. It’s highly ignitable, harmful if consumed and can damage your eyes. Respiratory irritation and central nervous system issues can result from inhalation.

The recalled sanitizers listed here were falsely marked as containing only ethyl alcohol.
