Hand Sanitizers Containing Methanol or 1-Propanol

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

• Ethanol contained in alcohol used for drinking, 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 flammable, harmful if congested and can damage your eyes. Respiratory irritation and central nervous system issues can result from inhalation.
