Large quantities of hand sanitizers cannot be stored in Hackensack office buildings, per OSHA regulations and any quantities over 25 gallons must be properly stored in flammable-liquid storage cabinets.

Hand Sanitizers Containing Methanol or 1-Propanol

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has sent notices to quite a few companies and manufacturering companies for making and selling hand sanitizers that containmethanol or 1-propanol, both are toxic to human health and neither are approved for hand-washing by the EPA:

• Ethanol found in spirits for drinking, methanol mostly used to manufacture fuels, solvents and antifreeze. Referred to as “wood alcohol” or “methyl alcohol”, methanol is colorless, highly flammable 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 when congested 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. If your company bought large amounts of any recalled sanitizer shown please get in touch with our Hackensack hazardous waste disposal office right away to schedule proper transportation and disposal.
