Hand Sanitizers Containing Methanol or 1-Propanol

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

• Ethanol found 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 extremely poisonous if consumed.
• Used in industry, some cosmetics and antiseptics, 1-Propanol is used as a multi-purpose solvent. It’s highly flammable, dangerous when congested and can damage your eyes. Respiratory irritation and central nervous system issues can result from inhalation.
