Bulk hand sanitizers cannot be stored in League City office buildings, per OSHA regulations and any amounts of more than 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 several companies and manufacturering companies for making and selling hand sanitizers that containmethanol or 1-propanol, both are toxic to human health and neither one are approved for hand-washing by the EPA:

• Ethanol contained in alcohol used for consumption, 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 flammable, dangerous when consumed and can damage your eyes. Respiratory irritation and central nervous system issues can result from inhalation.

The recalled sanitizers listed here were illegally marked as containing only ethyl alcohol. If you bought large volumes of any recalled sanitizer listed please get in touch with our League City hazardous waste disposal office right away to schedule proper transportation and disposal.
