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 were approved for hand-washing by the EPA:

• Ethanol contained in alcohol used for consumption, methanol commonly used to manufacture fuels, solvents and antifreeze. Referred to as “wood alcohol” or “methyl alcohol”, methanol is colorless, highly flammable 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, harmful if congested 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.
