Hand Sanitizers Containing Methanol or 1-Propanol

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has fined quite a few companies and manufacturering companies for making and selling hand sanitizers that contain the followingmethanol or 1-propanol, both of which are toxic to human health and neither one were approved for hand-washing by the EPA:

• Ethanol found in alcohol for drinking, methanol commonly 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, dangerous 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 labeled as containing only ethyl alcohol. If your company purchased large amounts of any recalled sanitizer listed please get in touch with our Queen Creek hazardous waste disposal office right away to schedule proper transportation and disposal.
